Hi guys, am trying to power a set of dynaudio bm15 passive monitors, seems they need alot of power. Currently using linn 2250 power amp but seems too light. Anything out there?

I have a pair of aiyima A07 max monoblocks you could borrow to try....they have the small power suplies 36v that you could upgrade to 48v for more power but even with this they should have enough.

The Linn is already giving 230W into 4…so are you sure going up to 300w will produce the boost?

If price is a major consideration, you might consider importing a power amp from eBay etc, I noticed a Darthzeal clone for about 400 quid. Not sure about warranty or sound quality, but might be worth a punt? I think it was about 400w?

Alternatively…

Parasound are a very good quality manufacturer, there may be a few A21’s or John Curl JC1’s knocking about with Cloney’s? I think there was a few Classe power amps / mono blocks in there recently, they might still be around?

TBH I’m not really into power specs, more into how much do I like / don’t like the sound and the synergy between components.

Cheers for that. Will check ebay and cloney. Just feels like the linn runs out of power at medium/high levels. Forums on the Dynaudios suggest they need loads of power to give their best.
