| Amp for Dali Hellicon 400 mk2 Now that I think of it, a tube amp would probably add some much needed body. | |
| Amp for Dali Hellicon 400 mk2 I auditioned the mk1 version with arcam P1 monos at my dealer. I felt they sounded quite anemic. I can only hope they sound better with more power. This was in a room that was about 13 x 16 x 8h. | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... Pubul57. The gentelman I spoke to in the Apogee room said they can make new pairs also. | |

| Next step after B&W 802D Your amp speaker combo is a mismatch. You either need a 200 wpc plus solid state amp or speakers that can be driven by your 50 wpc tube amp IMO.Sean | |
| The best $1500-2500 amp to run with Aerial LR5's I looked on the Aerial web site and your right Matti. The woofers are a little larger and the LR5 also has a lower sensitivity. JC1s would be better but for the price I don't know of anything better. | |

| The space between the speakers No it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I've had to do the same thing before and though its not ideal it can work just fine.Sean | |
| The best $1500-2500 amp to run with Aerial LR5's I used the Parasound Halo A21 with the Aerial model 9 and really liked the combo. The LR5s use the same drivers as the model 9s minus two woofers. |
