My experience with Dynaudios is that they are very hard to drive, they like to be driven loud, that's when they open up and sound their best. I would suggest a pair of Legacy Audios or Focals, these brands typically make efficient speakers that sound great at low volumes, the point being they will be easier to drive with tube amps. I drove my Signatures with the Coincident 34se which is only an 8 wpc amp. And they sounded great with acoustic music.
Dynaudio Evidence Temptation and tube amps?
Have begun the process of considering different speakers to replace the Dali Euphonia MS 4's in my somewhat small and cluttered dedicated listening room(15 by 18 and probably a bit more damped than most). Currently have a listening triangle of about 8 feet and am not to concerned with high volume levels. The only thing I want to change is the speakers so the question is what problems will I run into should I be lucky enough to find a local pair for purchase when I try to run them with the 200 watt Allnic monoblocks. I ask due to the near concensus that they seem to shine with lots of current and power. Is my small distance from the speakers and the rare desire to play at extreme volumes the classical and jazz I prefer a possible exception to the need for megawatts? Current front of speakers about 6 feet from back wall and 4 feet from side walls. Obviously would hope to hear from anyone that has tried or is using tubes in a similar situation. Best wishes and thanks in advance. LS
