1.4W, it would do it but it wouldn't be happy with it.
 
I would probably go have a look at some of Schiit's offerings

My Asgard 2 does a bit under a watt and I absolutely love it with my LCD-2.2, the newest ones are lower impedance and higher sensitivity, so they don't need quite as much power. I think he should be fine.

  I am thinking about getting LCD 2.2. I currently have Centrance Hifi-M8 and have a couple questions:
 
1. How does M8 pair with LCD 2.2? 
 
2. What other desktop amp and DAC would pair better with LCD 2.2? My budget is ~$1000 for both amp and DAC.
 
Thanks!

 
1- Can't comment on the M8. 
2- The conductor SL models are a good option. Or you can also go with separates such as the Soloist SL + Dac which are very popular among Audeze users. 
 

 
any great portable amps that can drive the  audeze  and have bass boost using chord hugo as dac

 
Look into the Ray samuels portable range. 
If i were you. try the hugo with the audeze first and see if you feel the need of extra driving power.

What DAC would you recommend with Soloist? I was actually comparing Soloist SL, Lyr and WA6. Could you tell anything about the difference between those 3?

  my burson conductor should provide around 1.5W to my lcd2 and i m more than satisfy..

How do you like synergy between your Conductor and LCD-2? It would be great if you have other amps to compare to!

Hi
I like very much the match between lcd2 and conductor cause this one is not warm and open a lot the headphone
His dac is detailed and with a huge slam pretty amazing bass
I add a usb/spdif converter and it improved even more..
I tried the audeze with the graham ulde with a mdac and with a concero hd that I still have, I thought they sound very good until someone left to my place a conductor to demo for a week. It never get out from my house!
I tried a leben cs300sx and it's very nice, but I still prefer my conductor cause has more energy and sounds more live

 

[montanari]

Try the soloist , not the sl

 

[listen4joy]

is lyr2 pair well with lcd2.2.?

 

[goldendarko]

It's actually probably the most popular pairing. Lyr and lcd-2

 

[Chris_Himself]

  is lyr2 pair well with lcd2.2.?

 
Quite well, it was basically made for it and the HE-500/HE-6..

I had the WA6 and the Mjolner sold both cause I didn't the sound with my LCD-2 v.2.  You should definitely try the Musical Paradise MP-401 mk2.  This is a great sounding amp with the lcd-2.  Plenty of power with 2.88 watt  at 50ohm.

What aspects of the the mjolnir's sound did you not like?

 

[CanadianMaestro]

I use LCD-2.2 in balanced, from a Bryston BHA-1 (sources are BDP-1 and BCD-1). SE also from Burson Soloist. DAC is a BDA-1.
I think the Soloist is a best match for LCD-2.2, but not by a lot over the BHA-1, which is more transparent and does a better soundstage.

[montanari]

Soloist better than bryston??
I never thought..
Better For my monkey

I find the Mjolner to be to bright for my taste. I find myself not enjoying the music as much. Don't get me wrong, Mjolner has some impresive bass attack but overall, it just not music to my ear. The MP-401 mk2 amp produces 90% of the Mjolner's bass but has the wonderful tube mids and nice extended treble without being harsh. The MP-401 has the tungsol kt120 power tubes. I think this has a lot to do with mp-401 wonderful sound.
