Dali Zensor 3 / Amp upgrade?

[jezzc100]

Hi there,
Brand new to the forums and after a bit of advice from more knowledgeable folk, please!

I currently have a set of Dali Zensor 3's powered by a mini system (Denon Dm42 DAB) at 30 watts per channel (6 ohm).

Whilst I have been fairly impressed with this little system and the quality of the speakers, I feel I'm not making use of the Dali's full potential and looking at upgrading to a better amp (integrated or otherwise?) when I soon move to a bigger property. Feel that the sound struggles a little bit when the volume picks up and lacks clarity.

Considerations so far, having read a few forum posts:

Yamaha As3001
Onkyo 9010
Maybe a Marrantz Pm6005 (if budget will stretch that far).

Interested to know people's thoughts. Generally I use the system for a variety of applications, music listening, but also do a bit of home DJ-ing, plugged into the Aux input (CDJ's not vinyl/phono).

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions how I can improve my setup.

I love the Marantz/Dali partnership, and I'd pick it over Yamaha any day.

Never really got on with the cheaper Yamaha amps.
I think you need to take a good look at what facilities you need on an amp and those which you don't.
Look for one that will handle a few future speaker upgrades.
As Rainsoothe says Marantz have a good reputation with Dali speakers on the end but I liked the Onkyo, admittedly I haven't heard it with Dali speakers.
