Monoblock Suggestion?


What brand of monoblocks is recommend with Dali's MS5 in order to obtain their full potencial. I'm looking to monoblocks in particular that will handle the 4 ohms load this speakers have and that won't run out of steam.Maybe a used brand that represent a good value.Maybe new?

Armandito, I have modified B&K M-200's, so they wouldn't fit your situation like mine.
Although it's time consuming and frustrating at times, try to contact a reputable dealer to find out what other MS5 owners are pairing up with, ya might get lucky, so hang in there.
Scour some of the A.A. threads.
B.T.W., my 91 RX7 is becoming an RX8 by me swapping in a V-8 engine.
Your Nissan twin turbo is a helluva sweet ride though !
"Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Parasound Halo JC 1 ?"

Sure, I have owned a pair for 2 years. Initially they were my reference until I modded some older Adcom GFA-585's. They gathered dust for about a year until I finally modded them. Now they are my reference again. In stock form, the JC-1's are a bit hazy and undynamic in the upper frequencies. A bit of HF sibilance, but this can be fixed. The only amps that will have better bass control than the JC-1's on your Dali's is a Carver Pro ZR1600, but one you have to get modded to be decent.
The problem with Innersound, Coda and Continuum (all designed by the same guy) is that they dont use global negative feedback. This makes them very airy at the HF, but at the expense of bass control. I have three Codas myself that I use for HT.
