Opinions on Ohm Walsh 2000 or JM-Lab Daline 3.1 ?

I want to upgrade(if it is correct) my entry systtem ; Nad C326Bee, PSB Imagine T, Beresford Caiman SEG dac

I narrowed speaker choice to Two.
Ohm Walsh 2000 & JM-lab Daline 3.1
I could not find a way to auditio them so. please let me know your opinion
 
I enjoy jazz, pop, and dynamic classic orchestral.

What is better choice between these two speaker for 2ch system?


And the last & the most important thing is the amp choice.

With Daline, I would like to try Tube amp but not sure for the Ohm speaker.
Is Walsh 2000 a power hungry speaker?

Can you recommend matching amps?
For the amps only, budget will be ~2500, used gear will be more than welcome.
Doe not matter Tube, SS, Integrated or separate.

Best regards

Thanks for yor input Bondmanp

After read your reviews, I am pretty sure to try the Ohm.

For the amps, I will stay with my Nad for a while and see if I can find a better amps.

BTW, how do you like your Beresford?
Mines sounds very clean but I would like to experiment with a 15v linear power supply.

czar2000 - I like it very much, but it bears little resemblance to a stock Beresford. The modder, K-Works (Igor Kuznetzov) replaced most of the electronic components (but not the DAC chip), added EMF sheeting, and mine has a huge 12 volt power supply (not sure of the type). I will put it this way: In an audio club shoot-out about 6 years ago, this DAC held its own against a $10K DAC from MSB, IIRC. In my system, it beat out a Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 (stock version).


I may someday replace it, but mainly to get higher resolution capabilities, a USB input, and a built-in streamer to replace my Squeezebox Touch. But I am quite happy with the sound of this DAC, especially since upgrading the IC between the DAC and my preamp.
