Does anyone know which of these 2 speaker makes would be better suited to my amp . I mainly listen to blues and rock .

Dynaudio audience 42 or Epos elan 10 .

Hi. If you mean Naim Nait 5si and CD5si, then you should test B&W 685 S2 or Dynaudio DM 2/7 or, if you can stretch the budget, Dynaudio Xcite X12 (or X14), B&W CM1 (first series - or CM5 used/ex dem), Focal Aria 906, KEF LS50, Martin Logan Motion 35 XT or XTZ 99.26 mk II.

Two very good speakers there and either should go well with your (typo) Naim amp. Lets stick to your choices at the moment shall we as there must have been a reason for you to have selected them.

I would say a lot would depend on the room size you intend to use them in and the main genre of music you listen two. Both should be equally adept and, sensibly placed on decent stands, it would be a hard choice. The Elan 10's are the more efficient speaker and would probably be my choice if it were my money.
