Be fine if not whacking the dial to the max then….

Indeed. Ports designed for bass reflex are compromised if not carefully selected and positioned…. Rear ports particularly sensitive to wall placement… Infinite baffle or front exiting transmission line FTW! Note also that the cabinets themselves will emit frequency regardless of design, I...

I used a natural sponge on my DALIs in my small study. Cut them to suit……. It certainly worked but I found the sound characteristic absolutely awful, couldn’t live with it.

Exactly this..

But it’s all about current.

Impossible to say. Depends on the room and your set up and your listening preferences

I’m not convinced you’ll get 32A OUT from the MARANTZ…..?

Uugggghhh, indeed. The evo150 into scm7 or 11 is WAY too dry… one reason my 150 is for sale.

Yeah the 11s are marginally easier to drive but you’d never know. What you will note though is the increased transparency and wider soundstage of the 11s over the 7s. It’s not marginal! But the 7s are very very sweet sounding speakers and an absolute bargain too

My NAIT 50 (25W) drives my SCM11 perfectly at sensible volume in my study. ATC have a pretty flat response, don’t dip massively.. The current capacity of the NAIT 50 is 15A though which helps….. what’s the current capability of the Marantz ? A quick search suggests it’ll be fine in a near field...

I’d have said £5000 would get a helluva system… But it’d also get you a helluva amp…or speakers……or room treatment……all of which have an impact of sound reproduction…. My NAIT50 has really opened my ears to what the right component in the right company can achieve…..it’s just SO very very very...

Indeed. My 109s fed from the ST-AMP never fails to impress. £1k easily achievable

Neats on poor stands is like a Ferrari on remoulds….! I’ve got some DALI M601 and some SolidSteel SS-6 stands…. The difference is night and day….. Then, there’s the issue of how much filller !!!!

The ATOLL IN400 is a beast by all reports, but it’s French. And I once went French with Micromega. Never again.

Indeed…. Home demo incoming
