How else can you play Björk remixes?? :-)

Bjork is the main reason I feel I need something with more headroom
than my valve amp for my Dynaudios.

Good example: "Headphones" from "Post". FORGET IT at other than low
volumes, with my amp. That is not good. :-(


Yes, I had a pair of Contours 1.1s on the go a while back - lovely superb
little speakers but not much cop on me valves. They need a 'firmer hand' I
think. The Björk was very crisp and stingy on the Wharfies at the cost of
the best in bass thump. Now having said that, I put the little bugger on a
pair of DM2As today and they've guzzled the power up but do sound very
nice - all nice and fluffy, just the way Pinky likes it!!
