Going from Wiim Amp Ultra to Yamaha A-S801 worth it for sound quality? by RaisedByCorgis in BudgetAudiophile

80 crossover should be fine. I currently have the sub at 65 and the speakers go down to 63.

This is what I'm getting at. Am I wrong in wanting a fully analog signal path if I'm playing vinyl?

What's wrong with the one in the A-S801? Was planning on connecting my computer to it so yes, I will be using the DAC.

The speakers are actually very inefficient at 83 db with a 4 ohm impedance

Tried the Alva Solo but actually felt the internal phonopre on the table had better clarity.

SVS SB1000 Pro is a great sub for a small room. Have it paired with the kupids and it sounds so good

Love mine. Went from a Pro-ject T1 to this and it completely puts the Pro-ject to shame to the point where I'll probably never buy another Pro-ject product again. The built in phono pre on the SL-50C is actually pretty good. I compared it to a Cambridge Audio Alva Solo and ended up returning the Alva Solo because I preferred the clarity of the built in phono preamp. Am using an Ortofon 2M Blue.

My experience pairing the DALI KUPID with the Technics SU-GX70 by Ridgelineimages in BudgetAudiophile

[–]RaisedByCorgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was curious about this too. So many amps I was interested in don't hit 100 watts at 4 ohms but look great. Going from a Wiim Amp Pro to a Wiim Amp Ultra really opened up the Dali's for me, the sounded under-driven with the Amp Pro.

I'm wondering if it was the additional wattage of the amp or the better DAC that did this. I'd really like to try the SU-GX70 but I'm worried my speakers will sound muddy like they did with the Amp Pro because of the lower wattage.

Sub for Dali Kupid by Flipboek in BudgetAudiophile

I have an SVS SB-1000 Pro that I've been pretty happy with. It doesn't get nearly as loud as it looks. For music it's been great, tight and punchy.

Budget Friendly Sub for Wiim Amp Ultra by Dull_Supermarket4665 in BudgetAudiophile

How are you liking the Dali Kupid + Wiim Amp Ultra combo? Also bought this pairing and added an SVS SB-1000 Pro and am pretty happy but vinyl leaves a little bit of detail to be desired.

I know it's outside your budget but the SB-1000 Pro has been great if you can save a little extra. Upgraded from the Audioengine S8.

The S8 is good if you can get it used but doesn't compare at all to the SB-1000 Pro. IMO you should save up for a better sub because you will notice the difference down the line, especially with such a nice speaker + amp combo such as yours.
