I agree with noromance, if it sounds good, playing to the desired loudness level without strain then paring is fine. A more definitive answer would require more information. How large a room? Do you know the nominal and lowest impedance of the Dali speakers? What is output voltage of your source? The output of a phonostage can often be 1/2 (or less) than that of a DAC, thus requiring greater gain.
Cambridge Audio Azur 740a paired with Dali Oberon 5's
So as the title suggests, that's the pairing I have going right now.
Just curious if they are suited for one another?
The speakers have a sensitivity of 88 db and the recomended wattage is 50-150 watts.
Azur 740a is 100 watts.
I dont know much about this but it seems like the amp is under powered? I typically listen at -25 db, but this is 3/4s the way to 0. Is this normal?
Can anybody suggest an amp better suited for these speakers? Or am I all good?
Also.. sometimes I like cranking up as far as -10 db on the amp.. will this hurt my new speakers?
Amp was used for $300.. speakers are more long term.
Thanks in advance
