Hello all,
I am looking for suitable amp for my vintage Velodyne DF-661.
I've tried to drive them with what I had on my desk - Denon PMA-50, but by going louder quickly run into amp clipping and rumbling from woofer.
Therefore I would like to find appropriate amp. Speakers are 6ohm, recommended amplifier power 75-300w. (although hifi-classics review thinks they are really 4ohm).
The audio source will be digital, lossless audio via USB. Rarely would like to use Bluetooth. Should be compact, no fans. Therefore I think, I need a digital integrated amp, but in most cases they are low powered.
I've found so far:
1) Peachtree Nova300 (or Nova150)
2) Klipsch Powergate
3) NAD D 3045
4) other ... Hegel H190 and Auralic Polaris, but they are too expensive for me.
On the other hand, I have a feeling that I am missing something. Maybe such speakers need a) much powerful amp (or bi-amp) b) analog type amp + DAC?
I need a direction, will appreciate your feedback.
