Amp for Dali Hellicon 400 mk2


any suggestions for powering my dali speakers...so far..have used a nad 218 and an ati 1506..neither of which made them sound overly inspirational...

well...could be..but..there was only probably 10 hours or so diffc from when i switched amps..the previous 2 amps did not get this sound from them...even my uhm..burnt backup cds have some life now....also..the new drivers only have about 40-50 hours on them..so..not even close to 200..anyway Zilla..i pm'ed you about the nuforce amps..i have learned that pro reviews are a crock..so..i like talking to owners....many pple say they are cold and 'dead'..others love them..may look for them later bit farther down the road..just dont want to give up my ht set up right now..u really like them eh
I am amazed again at the comments about the Helicon's base. As I have said elsewhere, I owned both the 400 and 800, with different amps, and have listened to them on many front end combinations. I would describe the deep base as tuneful, harmonic, and warm, even slightly rich. The 800 is of course better, but the 400 still provides excellent base. I must say I enjoy the Helicon range on solid state, and power certainly helps. Distance from the rear wall makes a difference to the quality of the base, so they need to be placed well.
I'll go by the Dali suite at RMAF to give them one more try. Maybe there was something about the room I heard them in. (That room works with lots of other speakers, but...)
