Power amplifier for Dali Grand Diva speakers

Archived from groups: rec.audio.high-end (More info?)

Hi,
I have a pair of Dali Grand Diva speakers and needs a suitable power
amplifier for them. I have a budget of maximum a 1000$ dollars. Which power
amplifiers would you recommend? It does not matter whether the amplifier is
new or used.

I have been suggested a lot of different power amplifers, for instance Doxa
70, NAD 3020, NAD 218THX, and Harman/Kardon signature 1.5 but still don't
know which to look for.

Best regards
Kim

FWIW: the owner of Dali was one of the owners of NAD
(he sold NAD to start Tact Audio, but their amps are
over your budget).

Without an active crossover, and given that the power amp(s) have
adequate power supplies, bi-amping is utterly pointless.
