Dynacord CL1600 I use 2 amps for about a year. In fact, 1 for a year and the second since the arrival of my first sub.
(2X800W / 4 ohms - 2X500W / 8 ohms, made in Germany).

I bought almost new in Germany, by chance, during a business trip.
On the recommendation of a German colleague as passionate as me and who I can trust, and it must be said, because of the price really interesting (destocking), I'm tempted by this opportunity. All this suited me fine.
This beautiful savings, I was able to complete my 2 B. Chilton rope 400x V2 by Chilton S118nd 2 subs.
Actually, I planned future purchase of 2 new Yorkville AP 4040 but 2 heads + 2 amps + 2 subs it starts to bite at the budget ... especially since I am not my job!
While this is only a postponement, except ... I am completely satisfied with my Dynacord .... And so, I think to keep a good time because I wonder how long it would spend more for something better in this category.

The facade is very massive and a flawless finish. The frame is of sturdy as well. I have not opened but it was a rare feeling of confidence when buying this type of device. (I had the same impression when I bought my card from RME FireFace 400 of works to perfection).
German rigor that I know in machine tools are also in the electronics and this is confirmed!

The power is real and very present.
Each amp drive a sub and a head. So I have an amp per side which is better balanced and more effective.
No signs of fatigue, besides the fans do not fire when they run a lot and is idle (very quiet), never in fast mode.
Note that I planned to work half see 3 / 4 of their maximum power which seems to be the rule from the pros to get the best audio quality possible without risk to the speakers. (Enough for me this power and the reserve seems impressive).

Obviously, these amps go well with the speakers and vice versa.
It's much better than the HiFi as there is a very realistic side in sound reproduction that I would call the "Live". It must also say that my Chilton are tip top quality in that register! (See my review Chilton).
This set will suit those who seek above all a certain quality in sound reproduction sound reproduction but also to the same recording (Fidelity) is almost neutral in the image monitoring systems.
Those that make the sound of wide open spaces and not too picky on these criteria may have other priorities such as the pure power for example.

In short, these amps match my expectations and I want to make use of this material and it is in my view, essential.
Therefore I note 10/10 because I see no downside.
Dynacord amps should be more known in France.
Sure values.
