Hi all,
I've been investigating upgrading my stereo system for the last several months. I'm currently running a 16 year old pair of PSB Alpha B1s through a 16 year old Sherwood Newcastle RX-4105, and they have served me well.
I think I'm going to go with Dali Oberon 5s to replace them, but had some questions about my Amplifier and the pairing of the two.
It goes without saying that I could do much better on the amplifier front. I was initially planning to upgrade it as well, but the oberon's are a bit more than I was initially planning to spend. Therefore, the amplifier upgrade is ideally going to get pushed down the line a bit.
The questions I have are as follows:
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: I live in the states.

The questions I have are as follows:
- How much should I worried about the fact that my amp is an 8 ohm amp and the speakers are 6 ohms?
- When I upgrade, does anyone have any suggestions? I'll be using the speakers for both music as well as tv/movies and will likely want to add in a center channel at some point. Wifi/Bluetooth/USB/Smart homes would all be pluses. I don't need the absolute best but I'm a sucker for bang-for-buck.
Any help is appreciated!
