Recommended Amp for Dynaudio Focus 340 on a mega budget but low volume levels


hi,

 

(well, not a mega budget, but a mega restricted budget)

I was wondering if it will be at all possible to drive a pair of Dynaudio Focus 340 speakers with a 100 Watt @ 4 Ohms amplifier?
If I understand correctly, this would be an absolutely bad idea under normal circumstances, I could even damage the speakers.

However I will never be driving them hard, simply because they are standing in a smallish room (12m2) which is my office.
Also for that have another audio setup in my living room.

So per definition I will ONLY be listening to them at whispering or slightly above levels and I will never go above that.

For this pair though, my budget is strictly limited. And the Dynaudios are here to stay :)

Dynaudio Focus 340s, sensitivity 87 db, 4 Ohm 250Watts

I was hoping to use either a Simaudio Moon 250i or a Hegel H90 or similar as this is within my budget.
Would a Croft GC-I even work? I guess absolutely not?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for sharing your insights!

I did once do a DIY kit actually.. (I just dug this up from an email from 2015)

worked very nicely with a Monitor Audio 2.1 set

So generally speaking, would DIY beat Simaudio or Hegel or similar (used) in the 1K-1.5K price range?

thanks

(PS I still have hardly any idea what I am talking about when it comes to building an amp from one of those modules.... apart from that it probably involves connecting the board to a power supply and speaker connectors and screwing it inside a box

Edit2: oh internet is so great

@yogiboy so back to Croft and not self-built class D...

its tempting... but 45 W rms @ 8Ω 50 W rms @ 4Ω

I read somewhere that you’d typically want to see output figures double between 8 and 4 ohms? So here it only goes from 45W to 50W.. is that not way too little for these speakers?
