Good Integrated Amplifier for Aliante Zeta Speaker

your krell is an incredibly good integrated, and mates well with lots of speakers. not sure about going from the dynaudio to the aliante however. i don't see a big difference.

It's funny you've mentioned that Jaybo. I heard the Aliante's with a BlueNote Demi integrated and Ayon CD-1 player and I have to tell you, it's left an impression. Probably the best home setup I've ever heard. The Dynamics were incredible, the sound was warm and open but the resolution was to die for. I'm not sure what made the biggest impact, the speakers, CD player or integrated. I'm after that sound now after hearing that system. I have an open layed back sound but not nearly enough resolution since listening to the Aliante speakers.

the zeta is a great speaker for sure....you're gonna have to take the plunge to know how much better it is over the dynaudio. i'm a fan of aliante/opera/ and sonus faber for monitors

Do you have the One Zeta's now? I run mine with a Bel Canto digital amp, and my dvd/processor is primarily a home theater unit and even so the sound is vey nice, as I tried to balance a system that visually did not overpower the room (hard to do), while also tying to get the best sound. As you said, they provide great resolution and a nice wide soundstage. I agree with Jaybo, I am sure your Krell will mate well with them. My amp is 150 watts dual mono and it is plenty to drive them. The Aliante's I believe have a sensitivity of 88db or so and they like a little power.

However as a word of caution these speakers are getting a bit aged, and I don't think Aliante is doing much in the states now, so if there is a problem... It could be a problem.
