Title: help me pick an amp for new speakers
Post by JP on 04/11/20 at 23:46:30

hello
I am soon getting the spatial audio x5s to my dedicated 2 channel listening area.I listen to classic rock 70% of the time with the remaining 30% split evenly between jazz and blues.
80% of the time i listen to vinyl - vpi prime, ps audio stellar phono pre, wired4sound stpse preamp, parasound a21 amp
20% stream via bel canto one stream
Would the torii mk4 be a good choice or other recommendations?
Thanks

I have not heard the Tori amp, but have both a miniTori and Zen Monoblocks, i think you will be very happy with any Decware amp to be honest. Unless you have a need to play pretty loud. I have custom HO- Omega alnico speakers and very seldom i feel i need more than those 2.7 watts

also; cool speakers
