small speakers

Anyone know how much power the 320 puts out? I'm running a set of the D5's with a NAD L73 (rated 60 wpc) and it can easily go to ear bleeding levels. Note that NAD generally estimates the power output very conservatively so when they say 60, they mean it, maybe more. I strongly suspect that the 320 will be great. As for the D4 I cant think of a better speaker at that size and in rosewood it's great looking. I have D4's as my rears and frankly I think they are wasted there. You have a good plan if the 320 is in the ballpark. OK I just checked and NAD states 50Wx2 for the 320. No Prob at all.

This is very encouraging. The D4's remain in the top choices unless others come recommended... My listening level will be low to moderate at most, fyi. Thanks to everyone!

i'll take the contrarian view and suggest you replace the eras with a more efficient, better-sounding speaker--von schweikert vr1, psb imagine, proac, focal, rega r1 or rs1, etc.--all of which can be found in the $500-1k range.

Since the 320BEE has pre-outs you have the option of adding a more powerful power amp to the system later if you do find you need more grunt for the D4's. I'm not suggesting you will but that flexibility might make it easier to move ahead now with trying whichever speakers you decide on.

I second the B&W 685. Excellent, liked them much more that the CM2 and 705.
