They like power and current to sound their best. Receivers and integrated amp are challenged to do that in general and still have low noise and distortion due to close proximity of circuits to power transformers. But I have heard recent integrated amps do it quite well. I have bel canto c5i that would do nicely unless you listen very loud. It has everything in one small box and is amazingly quiet and low distortion. Rogue Pharoah would be my ideal integrated for speakers like those but that would stretch your budget even used most likely. Class D audio power amp and preamp of your choice is another I would consider were it me. The more power and current you can squeeze in your budget the better.
Upgrading receiver: Got a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires+NAD C740
Hi,
I recently upgraded from Totem Staafs to Dynaudio Sapphires and of course love the new speakers. I believe my receiver is not doing justice to the speakers and need to upgrade. My budget at this time is $1500. Here are my constraints and questions:
1) If it is worth upgrading from NAD c740 to a higher end Stereo receiver?
2) I need a receiver with ability to drive two pairs of speakers (main dynaudios and other ones are totems in another room). Any suggestions?
