Seems like you’re making lateral moves on both parts rather than really improving anything. Going from Dali to Paradigm and Rotel to NAD or Marantz is like trading the Mustang for the Camaro. I would look at the Anthem STR Integrated and make those Dali’s sing!
Paradigm Premier. Thoughts
Looking at replacing my old Dali and was considering the Paradigm. Trying to not go over $1,000. Room is only about 10 x 12. Currently looking at integrated amps to replace my older Rotel 850 and 1066 with something with a good DAC. Currently either the NAD or Marantz units.
And go.
And go.
