Dali Kupid speakers on my Pioneer a-c5?

[Jonah_Lake]

I just had a listen to the new Dali kupid. WOW! I tried it next to the Oberon 1 and 3 but prefered the Kupid. My problem is that it's 4ohm speakers and I have an old Pioneer a-c5.
What problems could appear if I combine these two? Thanks

The A-c5 has these specs:

Power output: 40 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)

Frequency response: 2Hz to 160kHz

Total harmonic distortion: 0.07%

Input sensitivity: 2.8mV (MM), 200mV (line)

Signal to noise ratio: 85dB (MM), 105dB (line)

Output: 200mV (line)

Speaker load impedance: 4Ω (minimum)

And the Dali speaker:

83 dB @ 1m for 2.83 V

4 Ohm

103 dB

2,100 Hz

2-way

40 – 120 Watt

Do you listen at high volumes? If not, you should be fine - if you do, the amp looks as though it might not be ideal. Too little power with high volumes can be far worse than too much power.

the sensitivety is the problem, old speakers were all above 100db´s, and not meaning they were good, but at least sounded as better as they could, buy some cheap 80´s or 90´s Pioneer and you´ll see, CS reference, to 40watts the 140 watts DIN or 190 watts DIN

He's not asking for advice about buying old speakers...

Take your Pioneer to the shop and try with the speakers . Should be Okay

He's wrong about all old speakers being over 100dB as well......
The Kupids should be fine with the Pioneer however only an audition will tell.

Just buy a pair and return them if you don't like them

I know Acoustics energy ae 100.2 cost exactly the same i denmark, a little less in uk

I would def take a listen to them to

AE 100.2 has higher sensitivity, bigger woofer and are 6 ohm
