Depends on your budget or course but there are many options as the Dalines sound good with tubes and solid state. They are very nice sounding speakers. Do you want an integrated amp or separates? They are efficient at 89DB so power should not be an issue but I have found the speakers can provide excellent low end with the right amp. The Focal tweeter is actually fairly warm in this application. They will not sound bright in most applications but will reveal a harsh amp or poor digital source. I have good results on my Dalines with a Bryston B60R, Naim Nait 5, Rotel RA-02 and a 15w ASL. I now use a Panasonic SA-XR45 for my second system. It is amazing how well this inexpensive all digital amp drives the Dalines for $300. The Panny really brings them to life with speed and control believe it or not with no need for a sub.
