I have a 151 in a second system with monitors. Once it burns in (300 hours), it is more dynamic than you think an amp of its size will be. I suggest using a better wire than you initially anticipate. I am using Jorma #3. I can also recommend Crimson. A lot will depend on your speakers and how neutral they are.
Wadia 151 + Dynaudio X12... what speaker cable?
Hi All,
A quick question: I am putting together a compact system for a small apartment. After a lot of research, I decided on the Wadia 151 PowerDAC as the amp/DAC, and the Dynaudio Excite X12's for speakers. All the reviews say that the soundstaging and 3-dimensionality is superb, and since those are my favorite qualities in audio playback, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
That being said, I am now researching what speaker cables to use. Anyone with experience on one or both of these components? What cables sound good with the Dynaudios? The obvious choice is Dynaudio's own OCOS cables. I haven't read any reviews of them with the X12's, though. I'm looking to minimize cost, but preserve the soundstage. Thanks in advance!
