Hello everyone,
I am considering buying a Naim Nait 5si to drive my pair of Dynaudio DM 2/7 (4-ohm, 150W, 86dB/W/m). In my experience this pair is not hard to drive, my lastest amplifier had only 55W into 4-ohm and the combo did sound decent. However, many people told me that the Dyns will sound much better when coupled with more powerful amplifier, so I went out and tried some 'stronger' amps: Musical Fidelity M3i, Exposure 2010S2, NAD 375BEE, Rotel 1520.
Interestingly, the Naim was not on my list in the beginning (well, it is expensive) but later it became the best option. For each amp I tried, I turned the volume up (quite loud, but still listenable) to see if it showed anything harsh or constrained, and Naim did maintain good sound.
So now my only question left: Is there any other amp that I should try? Any amp being in the same budget and can pair well with the Dyns?
Guys, thanks and waiting for your suggestions.
