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...

I believe the point was that Vienna Acoustics are sold at Best Buy.

The bottom line is that no speaker is for everyone. Because one person could not match components with a speaker it should not be taken as fact. Its one persons opinion. And most everyone is biased.
Best Buy does NOT carry a full range of VA speakers. If you shop there you'll not be listening to their best.

well guys, thanx for all your opinions and insights, after some very critical listening...from the date this thread began, i turned up the volume on the dalis and the dreadnaught really started to shine...i think i was a bit gun shy as i blew the previous driver which cost me 600 bux..not good. My importer assured me that the new drivers were covered under warranty for 5 years..so..i turned it up!!and lately, man i am in sonic heaven..even popped in some old billy joel other day..literally it was as if he was playing that piano in my room....bocelli...forget about it!!watched band of brothers dvds last night...the surround sound was stunning....i have the dali center as well..and a martin logan dpeth i sub.....though i am curiuos about the nuforce amps...i see that there is definately a good relationship with the dread and the dalis..tho this dread is huge!!..and u can cook on the thing when its in standby..lol..the amp has certainly made a difference..this sytem is exuding a warmth and detail that i enjoy..and it can kick some when u want it too....i will see where it goes from here..glad, as i was literallly an inch from putting the dalis on the sale block..anyway, thanx for your insights..Dan
Are you sure it was not the break in that made a huge difference? I can tell you that I know for a fact that they need 200 hours of break in to sound great, and they do sound great. My Modwright CD player needed 200 hours also to sound glorious.
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
