Hello.
I had a thread a while back on picking a amp for my system.
It was suggested that I pick my speakers first as to not make a costly error.
I ’am back now that I have bought a set of speakers.
Just to reiterate my currant modest system is as follows,
Auralic Vega g1 streamer/dac
Rega p6 turntable with exact cartridge
Nackimichi CD player
McIntosh MX110 tuner/preamp
Adcom GFA-545 power amp
My currant speakers are Polk M10’s
The new to me speakers are Dynaudio Focus 360’s
I listen to 70% rock,pop,and blues and 30% jazz and classical
My listening space is 13x20
My budget is 5000 or less.
I have read that these speakers need a lot of currant and a good amount of watts to sound there best.
I would like to go ss if possible,as my preamp is fairly warm sounding,but I’am open to suggestions.
Since I have been looking at audio gear and buying a couple new items,I have tried to re-evaluate my listing habits and goals.
I have a general habit of starting each listening session with a known favorite at modest volume,and see where that takes me.
Sometimes I do get inspired to crank some loud rock for maybe 20 minutes,and then return to regular programming.
Since getting tidal and a streamer,I have rediscovered the joy’s of exploring unfamiliar territories.
I say this to try to express my need to have a amplifier that can do rock,yet have the ability to check out new styles with clarity,and accuracy required.
I know it would be a good idea to go to a bunch of audio shops and shows ,but I'am probably not going to do that .
I will most likely narrow it down to a couple,then go check them out.
Thank you.
