I'm right into computer based music rather than CD/Vinyl etc but I know naff all about speakers really.
I have a dilemma. I have an amp that has a nominal 6 ohm output, with 40wpc on offer. At the moment these feed a pair of Acoustic Energy AE1 Classic speakers on shelves on the wall. I have the proper stands but try as I may I simply cannot squeeze them in the room without the prospect of an impending divorce from her indoors (bless her!).
So they are a bit crammed in. The amp also seems to need to be cranked up a bit. So, I need a pair of bookshelf speakers no more than 29cm high and 25cm deep, width doesn't matter. I am toying with the Dali Zensors as they are a little smaller, not as deep and would have a bit more space around them. I realise this is a big price gap so I am wondering if I am mad to think this way? Any ideas?
Also the Dali's are rated 6 ohm and 86.5 sensitivity, The AE1's 8 ohms and 88 sensitivity. Would the Dali's be easier to drive based on these figures as I'm note sure how this works. I do have a sub which helps out in the bottom end.
Purely for the sake ofmy love life I'd like to resolve this! By the way I'm after speaker advice not relationship counselling
Thanks
