Amp to pair with Dahlquist DQ30i speakers


Hello all. I recently picked up a set of Dahlquist DQ30i speakers in excellent condition. I’ve long admired their sound. I only have a place at my TV system. Not much of a system until now. I have a recent but inexpensive Sony receiver (STR DN 1080) connected right now. Now I’m thinking I need a receiver OR an amp/preamp to do these babies justice. What do you guys recommend to get more out of these speakers? I’m up for cable suggestions as well without breaking the bank. Thank you in advance. Joe Novak

Grab a cayin h80a integrated if you can find one. They’re 80 wpc class a bumping up to around 150wpc in class a/b. Fantastic sounding tube hybrid and should be able to find in the 2k range.

The room is 22' X 17'. Used for sure just like the Dalquist. Mostly looking for good clean power, not features. Budget? Maybe $3000.00. Joe
