PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match

Hey all

I'm looking to get my first component system, and I am totally in love with PrimaLuna's amp and preamp. My plan is to get they DiaLogue Seven monoblocks, as well as the DiaLogue Three preamp.

My source will be vinyl or my iPhone/iPod.

My musical tastes are mainly rock, metal, bluegrass, alt-country, and folk.

I'm not worried about deafening anyone -- I just want good, solid, organinc musical reproduction.

With that said, does anyone have any speaker recommendations for a full PrimaLuna rig? I'm sure Thiel CS3.7s sound glorious, but is something like that -- which wants 300-600 watts of power -- "too much speaker" for these amps?

Any thoughts would be MUCH appreciated!

I agree with Gerryn that the Wadia i Transport with my new Rega DAC sounds tremendous through the Dialogue 2. Also running Apple Airport Express using my IPAD through the DAC is a very nice combo as well. The Wadia/Rega/IPod is the better sound though. Still neither compares to a decent vinyl rig, just more convenient. Using VPI Classic with SDS and outer ring with Benz ACE- when I am really serious about listenening.

Driving a pair of PSB Synchrony One's- Dialogue handles them very well. Rated efficiency is at 90 for the speakers. Dialogue Sevens would handle all you could throw at it.
