Good speaker match for Nuprime IDA-8?


  I'd like to know what speakers you have successfully used with the IDA-8?
I was considering the Dynaudio Evoke 10 or the ELAC Carina but specs don't seem like the IDA-8 would be enough power............?
Borderline maybe, but comfortably,.......not sure?
As a result I have been looking at the Monitor Audio Gold 50 or 100 or the B&W 600 series.......maybe the KEF r3 or Silverlines......
As I stated in a post earlier this week my price range is $1000 to $2000.
What have you members used with the IDA-8 and really liked?
Thanks!

My experience with the NuPrime amp ( I love their Dac) is limited to the STA 9.  I found that while their amps do have some good qualities, they struggled and simply could not drive a planar speaker (Mono Blocks at 290w).  Avoiding a 4 ohm low efficiency speaker would be smart, and I think you will get a good result with any number of 6 or 8 ohm speakers with mid to high efficiency.  Otherwise....room size, front end, treatments, positioning etc all have parts to play in your choice.  Good Luck and enjoy the ride.
