Driving Dynaudio Focus 220 IIs


Hello,

I will probably buy Dynaudio Focus 220 IIs.

I'm also looking at buying an amp. I like the two below because I can use them in either US or Europe (voltage switchable easily) and I can level-match sources.

Linn Majik-I (100 watts into 4 ohms, damping factor > 170)
Arcam A38 (140 watts into 4 ohms, damping factor 30)

I really wish I understood the science better -- I don't know what to look for to match speaker + amp choice.

Any thoughts on this choice? I can't AB compare the amps. Thank you!

I have a pair of these on display and use a Class D amp with an output of 75WPC into 8 ohms doubling down to 150WPC into 4 ohms.

It does an excellent job in a mid to large size room.

However, I would not use a smaller amp unless most of your listening is at low to average SPL.
