Best AMP for Dali Zensor 3

[tsonko]

Hello guys,

i just ordered Deli Zensor 3 (which are amazing btw) and now i need to get the right AMP but not sure which one. What i need is just a stereo but its good to have options like bluetooth to use my phone or ipod. Both are about 40W per channel, almost the same price.

So what you think - Onkyo 9010 with DAC (probably) or Denon Piccolo N4 ?

Thanks

+ 1 marantz pm6005 / cd6005 you will get a good deal on both new if you look around or secondhand on eBay there loads on there

I am agree but the price of marantz 6005 here is 550 euro while the onkyo 9010 and the denon dm40 cost 190. So you guys think the pm6005 is much better?

I'd go with Marantz PM6005 (has DAC, but no USB) or Nad D3020 (which also gives you USB functionality and bluetooth). Try to audition, but imo Marantz + Dali go very, very well together. The Nad should be no slouch either, and Nad + Dali are another common partnership.

Here in denmark it costs 308€ buy one here a get it delivered for free

Not shure what it cost to ship to a foreign country (outside of denmark)

That is extraordinary. In the UK the discontinued PM 6005 is about £240 and the newer Onkyo £199. With your price of €190 it is an easy winner. The Marantz isn't more than twice as good, just a bit better for some.

Thanks a lot. I'll try to get the marantz from UK. Anyone tried denon n4 or dm 40 with dali zensor 3?

I think you can get the Marantz off of Amazon ez. If you live in the eu (sorry, I forgot your location), try amazon.de, as you'll probably get an eu plug. Haven't heard the Denon, but I'm sure the Marantz and the Nad are better.
