"mini" monitors for Primaluna prologue two


Now that I've decided, and anxiously waiting for arrival, on the Primaluna Prologue two, the search for speakers is underway. I'm putting together a system piece by piece. Amp, speakers, tt, cdp. In that order. I'm looking at stand mount monitors. Something along the lines of Proac 110's, Totem model 1 signatures, etc.

Any suggestions for this amp?

Proposed System:
Primaluna Prologue two amp +
Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CDP
Rega P5 turntable with Rega cartridge
Dynaudio Audience 52SE stand mount speakers

I heard this amp/turntable/speaker combination and really, really liked it. I throw the CDP suggestion in because I think it would compliment the amp and speakers as well.

I also like Totem speakers but have not heard them with this amp - I might suggest the Arros or Forest floor standers, depending on your budget and the size of your room.

Music Hall CDP is nice for the money, but I think the Apollo or 840C would be stronger choices to go with your new amp and the speakers mentioned above in the thread.
04rdking,

Nope. Since I didn't notice an outboard phono stage, I assumed that it was the built in unit (The PrimaLuna PhonoLogue MM Phonostage). Sorry I can't be more helpful.
When I listened to the Dynaudios with the Prologue, it was in a medium small listening room as I recall, about 15x20x8. At normal listening levels to volumes high enough to chase the sales person out of the room the sound remained coherent.

The Focus 140 has the same sensitivity as the Audience 52/52SE so it should perform similarly, but with perhaps a bit more resolution. I have listened to these through an ARC tube amp, and they sounded and looked beautiful. My guess is that the P2 power supply is big enough to drive the 140s at moderate volumes in a medium sized room at 4 ohms without breaking a sweat, although I haven't heard this particular combination.
