Amps for DALI IKON 2 MK 2

[jimzhang]

I am really kind of stuck at the choice of amplifiers for DALI IKON 2 MK 2 speakers.

I have tried NAD C356BEE, Creek EVO2 and Primair I32 (actually I was going for I21, but should be of the same style). And I found EVO2 is kind of slow and I exclude it out. For C356BEE, I think the sound is good. I32 is slightly better than C356BEE (a little brighter), but I will hesitate to pay for the extra amount of money to get a I21/I22. Many people suggest that NAD is not suitable for DALI IKON 2 MK2 (different styles of sounds) and Primair is a perfect match.

And one of my friends suggest I should try Exposure 2010S2...

I am so confused at this point. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your time and help.

Would you mind to introduce a little bit more about your amps? Is it balance? Thanks a lot!

My aim is to build a neutral system. Appreciate any recommendations for Amps under £1000. Thanks.

I thought he wanted an amp, not a Sky box

LOL - couldn't agree more. Sounds bloody good though.
