Hello there!

I recently bought a pair DALI Zensor 5 speakers (it was on sale for $300! here in Switzerland) and now I'm looking for an amp that goes with it. I'm unfortunately rather inexperienced, but based on the watts and oems and based on what's besteller I'm looking at some amps like:
Yamaha R-N301
Denon RCD-N9
Marantz M-CR510

What do you think about these choices? I'm listening almost exclusively to classical music and it is important for me to be able to stream via iTunes or qobuz. I'm also thinking to buy a vinyl player.
My room is not very big so I don't think I pure watts are not as important.

Thank you for your advice.

Thomas

I have heard those speakers they're not what I would call refined or suited to classical and to my ear will need an amp capable of controlling the bass drivers and a bit of power. If you have a small room get an amp with tone controls too - you'll need control

So.... I'd suggest ignoring the all in one units and go for a DAC carrying amp.

Like the Yamaha rn501 or a Rotel ra12 - see if you can audition amps on your speakers.

Compare them to those midi systems.
