Dear ASR Community,
after the first HP Setup (DX3Pro+, Sivga P-II), the next step would be my first speaker setup.
Unfortunately, I can't test these components before buying, so I can only check only the technical parameters.
For this reason, I welcome any comments.
(for example, there is a newer and cheaper one, it's pointlessly expensive or bad for this chain, the phone's speaker sounds better, etc.)
DAC/PreAmp: DX3Pro + (already bought and happy used)
RCA-RCA cable: Amazon Basics PBH-20217 2.4 m 9.02€
AMP: AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 with 32V/5A/160W 86.00€
Optional: Amp power supply: Switched Mode 48V/7.3A/350W 119.00€ + 9.50€ shipping
Speaker cable: Dynavox Perfect Sound Speaker Cable 2 m 45.29€
Speaker: Wharfedale Diamond 220 180.50€
Sum:
Without optional power supply: 320.80€
With optional power supply: 449.30€
T50 and D.320 speakers might be interesting:
I tried to calculate the SPLs (goal: to reach 20dB dynamic range), but this calculator from Crown Audio gave me more questions than answers.
220:
It looks like the 20dB dynamic range is almost available with the factory (32V/5A) power supply (18.85dB), so I don't have to buy a more expensive power supply, and the amplifier and speaker are pretty much compatible.
T50:
I am insecure about the 6 Ohm impedance, I have not found the power delivered for this 6 Ohm impedance, and I think this can only be calculated with a rough approximation.
This speaker is probably better in the field of bass (and the T50 works from 38Hz), but also more expensive, according to Amirm, recommend the Polk T50 especially with equalization.
D.320
Its sensitivity is better with 1dB, but there’s no ASR measurement about it, so I’m not sure if this newer and prettier speaker is really better either.
As I wrote, I welcome all opinions and tips because it is difficult to make a decision without HiFi experience.
