Lets add our comments without any question.....shall we nice combo but a slight mismatch - Dyn 52 s have a lot to offer than the NAD combo so bit of an imbalance. May be Dyn 52 - Nad 352 - and a better CDP. and yes 352 can drive 52 s my 2 cents without a question as i was toying a lot with the idea of having the above combo so got provoked.
while 352 can drive Dyn 52 i think thats as far as 352 would go anything higher in the dyn range and we need more power and currrent, also its always better to have more power IMHO. One good amp for the job is Rotel 1062 - rated at 60X2 watts at 8 ohms but fantastic at driving he Dyn 52s as has a lot more current. With regards to Nad 542 - fantastic, musical and very good pricing BUT you will not use the Dyns to their full potential with the NAD 542 from my experience - it will sound good none the less.
Also no matter what - never mix Rotel and NAD this is my own experience.
My choices would be (in the order) Dyn 52 + Ra 1062 + Rega Apollo Dyn 52 + RA 03 + Arcam 73 Dyn 42 + Rega Brio + Rega Apollo Dyn 42 + Arcam 65+ + Arcam 73 Dyn 42 + Nad 352 + NAD 542
Also very important to get the cables right - some forum members have much more experience in that direction.
As an owner of Dynaudio Audience, I think you are dead wrong. The C352 with Dyn 52s are a superb combo, and the NAD is a much smoother and cleaner amp than the Outlaw monoblocks you suggest.
Oh oh...the rare occasion of agreement has occurred again. The Outlaw amps simply aren't refined enough for the Dyns. Even the the NAD just barely makes it but it certainly is more musical and refined than the Outlaw mono's. I recommend the Outlaws for HT use primarily.
