Stick with dynaudio if you like the sound. No sense in making a 5k speaker decision based on an 80watt amp you plan on replacing. I use a 100 watt amp (which I will also upgrade one day) with my 1.8's and it works fine. I've even hooked them up to a 50watt nad integraded. The impedence of all current model dynaudio speakers is matched so that it will not stray far below its rating. The 1.8's for example, are rated at 4ohms yet the minimum impedence is 3.6ohms. A nice linear impedence is actually easier to drive then a higher average impedence thats all over the place. It's their lower sensitivity (86db) that gives them their thirst for power. All that really means is that you'll use a bit more of the volume dial to reach desired listening levels, but 80 quality watts should be fine in most rooms, plus you'll have a speaker that can take advantage of a bigger amp when you do decide to upgrade. I don't know why people are so afraid of dyno's and smaller amps, it's not like they are planars or electrostats where you might actually do damage. -just my 2cents
Speakers
I value everybodies opinion, so I would appreciate any input you fellows can give me. I realize how many superb speakers are out there but since I can't audition hardly anything do the fact I live in a rural area I'm having a hard time deciding on an upgrade to my sound system, mainly speakers. I have approx: $5000 to spend on a pair and want some mains that will do it all including some serious bass as I listen to a lot of blues,jazz, home theater, and occasionally some head banging rock. I've listened to B&W, nice but too expensive and NO bass. Dynaudio, real nice but I don't think I have enough power. I need speakers that can stand to be fairly close to the rear wall,ie:18 to 24". From what I've read here on AudiogoN (great site I love it ) most speakers are geared for super nice amps and pre amps., which I don't have, but planning on upgrading in the future. I'm currently running 80 watts per channel of fairly clean power. Any insight you guys can give me I would be greatly appreciate. Thanks.

@deep_333 and @pointtrucking you guys think that OP is still looking for speakers after 24 years? |
