KUPID

Yeah that is true about the amplifier. They need high current, powerful and quality amplification. Many reviews here on reddit etc test them on entry level class d amps which fale to power them and makes them sound bright and thin. On a quality amp they sound almost equal to the €1600 dali menuet se

And the arcam drives them easily. 50 watts of real analogue power easily outshines 200 watts of the class D amps i listened to with the dalis. The kupids have a tendency to sound thin and harsh because they are somewhat of an analytical speaker, so they really like a full analogue system ( sounding

Dali Kupids are low impedance, low sensitivity speakers so they definitely need a lot of power to drive them comfortably. Personally I would go for less demanding speakers to go with a sub-£200 amp, like e.g. the Aiyima A80.

Pretty sure that a cheap Fosi Audio V3 (ASR review) with 48V/5A power supply (2x160W @ 4Ω) would work fine with DALI Kupid (83dB/2.83V/1m, 4Ω nominal, recommend power 40W-120W).

I love the Dali Kupids, they sound great and the bass response is nice once they were burned in. I was interested in getting my friend to refurb a broken KEF LSX II into a passive speaker set, but went to the hifi shop and they had these on display. I was told the KEFs would need a subwoofer to soun
