Recommended Amp for Dynaudio Focus 340 on a mega budget but low volume levels


hi,

 

(well, not a mega budget, but a mega restricted budget)

I was wondering if it will be at all possible to drive a pair of Dynaudio Focus 340 speakers with a 100 Watt @ 4 Ohms amplifier?
If I understand correctly, this would be an absolutely bad idea under normal circumstances, I could even damage the speakers.

However I will never be driving them hard, simply because they are standing in a smallish room (12m2) which is my office.
Also for that have another audio setup in my living room.

So per definition I will ONLY be listening to them at whispering or slightly above levels and I will never go above that.

For this pair though, my budget is strictly limited. And the Dynaudios are here to stay :)

Dynaudio Focus 340s, sensitivity 87 db, 4 Ohm 250Watts

I was hoping to use either a Simaudio Moon 250i or a Hegel H90 or similar as this is within my budget.
Would a Croft GC-I even work? I guess absolutely not?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for sharing your insights!

@yogiboy so back to Croft and not self-built class D...

its tempting... but 45 W rms @ 8Ω 50 W rms @ 4Ω

I read somewhere that you’d typically want to see output figures double between 8 and 4 ohms? So here it only goes from 45W to 50W.. is that not way too little for these speakers?

Next update, trying to make sense of it all while moving along and discovering, also gathering some old gear I have at home.

 

Would this make sense?

1)  S.M.S.L. SU-8 DAC

2) Linn Sondek LP12

preamp:

1) Linn LK1 (optionally skipped by DAC, will need to test)

amp:

1) Purifi Eval1 Eigentakt EVAL1-SMPS1200A400 Class D

Any suggestions welcome, and many thanks for the great tips.

I know what I am pleased with in my office but apparently you will have none of it. 

A $50 amp with a $100 150 VA LPS.
