Confidence c4 & Devialet

[Confused]

I have to say I am not that surprised with @costintdan's comments in post #6. Back in 2013 I tried very many different amplifiers of all types, sizes and prices with the KEF Blade. The very worst was the Devialet D170 (as it was then), it just simply did not work with the rather demanding Blades. The very best, or at least the amp I chose to buy, was the Devialet D240. As a hunch, I suspect the C4's would be superb with a D250 / 400 / 800 /1000. I think the issue is that if you get a speaker that the D200 struggles with, it does not sound good. Although to be clear, I have listed to D200 powered systems that sound absolutely superb, it's just when the amp struggles to work with a particular speaker things go wrong, which is what I suspect may have happened with the C4's. One last point, I was lucky enough to have a demo of the C4's once, this was with big Musical Fidelity amps (not particularly expensive) and a Naim front end. It was one of those demos where I can remember thinking this sounds good, I could easily live with these speakers. A very memorable demo, I'm sure that if you get the amplification and set up right the C4's would be excellent.
