Hi, i own a Cambridge audio 540R V2 receiver and i am thinking of buying the Dali Ikon6 or Ikon7 speakers. do you think my receiver will drive well these speakers?
Please note that i listen to music at moderate levels.
I have read reviews saying that the midrange and tremble of the Ikons are forward so electronics should be matched with care. i assume that this means that the receiver should be warm sounding instead of bright.
Is the 540R warm or bright sounding?
Is the 540R suitable for the Ikons 6 and 7 or should i buy another receiver?
many thanks |

i am sorry you are right. please let me change my question
is the 640c a better disc player than the 540c in my case, or is it better if i match the 540C with my 540R?
thanks |

The 640C is better. It uses dual Wolfson DACs (I believe), whereas the 540C only uses one DAC.
I have the 640C - it's a great unit, although other members on here have suffered some of CA's quality control issues. |
