To clarify, based on some of the comments. Yes, the amp will more than drive any of these speakers and sound great. All the speakers mentioned are good. That said, its about finding the best speakers for equipment you already have. I agree with kingbr, he's driving with lots more watts and they sound great, not good. You have to match the amp to the speakers and that amp is not the "best" match to make those specific speakers sing and curl your toes. When spending thousands of dollars, do it once, do it right. You might want to call the amp maker and ask what speakers they recommend or what sensitivity. Just my opinion. Those that disagree, will still disagree. Let your ears decide. Good hunting.
Which speaker among Dali, Dynaudio and Acoustic Energy should I choose?
Greetings to all,
I am considering to upgrade my 20-year old speaker, the Audio Pro Black Diamond.
Recently I came across 3 models under clearance from different dealers which are heavily discounted and for which I am unable to audition due to the on-going pandemic. They are
1) Dali Rubicon 6 - (for what is equivalent to USD2400 in local currency after a 50% discount)
2) Dynaudio Excite X34 - ( also USD2400 after a 19% discount)
3) Acoustic Energy Reference 3 - (for what is equivalent to USD2800 after a 55% discount)
These are to be driven by a hybrid integrated amplifier which outputs the firstt 20W in Class A and up to 140W in Class A/B.
I listen to all types of music except hard rock, heavy metal and classical. I would appreciate any inputs about the said speakers (or any of them); knowing very well that it is illogical to expect someone to have heard all of speakers above.
