Marantz and Dynaudio combo (1 Viewer)

[Ricky c]

I was wondering if the Marantz SR7000 has enough power for Dynaudio 72 or 82.Was thinking of upgrading to dynaudio or Mirage om7 or om9.Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone reply to this please.thanks

I would think that you shouldn't have any trouble with the Mirage speakers at 8 ohms and 90db sensitivity. The 4 ohm load Dynaudio's might give you some grief though.

I also think the SR7000 will have a difficult time driving the Dynaudios.

Ricky,
You should visit the Dynaudio website see below.
I drive my Dynaudios (Contour 2.8 towers-not in production anymore) with 200 watts @4 Ohms in a medium room. This is so I have plenty of headroom for really loud passages. They are rated at 86dB sensitivity.
I don't know what your Marantz has for amp power, the 82 are more efficient than the 72.
You would find the following on the website:
Audience 72
Sensitivity (2.83 V/1 m):
86 dB
Recommended Amp. Power:
Small size rooms: >25 watts
Medium size rooms: >65 watts
Large size rooms: >125 watts
IEC Long Term Power Handling:
210 watts
Impedance, Nominal:
4 ohms
Audience 82
Sensitivity (2.83 V/1 m):
87 dB
Recommended Amp. Power:
Medium size rooms: >50 watts
Large size rooms: >100 watts
IEC Long Term Power Handling:
300 watts
Impedance, Nominal:
4 ohms

Why not use the Dynaudio 122's. They are the best of both worlds when it comes to efficiency and the sweet sound of Dynaudio's.
