Dynaudio Audience 52's with Arcam?

[Johnny11758]

I recently ordered a pair of Audience 52's and will be powering them with an Arcam A80. Anyone here have the 52's mated with Arcam? I've only been able to audition Audience 42's but not with Arcam. I loved the 42's, especially for their non-fatiguing and detailed highs and mids. By the way, completing the chain will be an Arcam CD62T.

They should sound very nice, good choice...

I have not heard the Audience 52's but I did own an Arcam A80 for about 2 weeks. It was a solid unit but it didn't sound any better than the old Sony AVR it was supposed to replace. After this experience it pretty much made me shy away from expensive electronics altogether. But I will say that the phono section of the A80 is absolutely fantastic. It totally obliterated my $250 Rolls Bellari phono pre. That alone was the reason I was seriously contemplating keeping the unit but I guess it was mean to be that I sold it because I ended up selling it for more than I paid and found an insane deal on my Dali Ikon 2 the very next day.

I am very well familiar with dynaudio. Infact, I own a 5.1 set up myself. I have not hear the audience 42/52 but I heard the focus 220 with the AVR350 and CD73 and the sound was phenomenal! The mating of these two products are excellent. In short, you should be fine! And I would not be surprised if you wanna go higher in their chain since they're that good! Truth be told, I love the Arcam-Dynaudio synergy so much that I pre-ordered the AVR600(flagship receiver) to compliment my contour 3.4s, SC center and focus 110 rears
