Is my amp good enough for these speakers?

[daws0n]

Hi guys,
I have just bought some Dyaudio 1.3 SE contours off eBay.. I already own the 1.1 model, and my Exposure 2010s drives them no problem. I wasn't planning on upgrading them, but £800 for a mint pair of 1.3ses is too good a price

Does anyone know if they will be more a load on my amp than the 1.1s? I'm interested to hear what anyone has to say about these speakers in general... Much of an improvement over the earlier models?
Thanks,
Dawson

Bigger speakers are usually easier to drive.

Hi,

The specs look similar.

There seems to be a lower impedance at high frequencies. I don't know the Exposures too well but they should do the job. How big is your room? These speakers are not the most sensitive going.

Hi, terrific speakers. I came close to buying a pair, upgrading from 52s. A mate had 1.1s. Good speaker, particularly good bass, dynamically not quite up there. You should notice a more open rounded sound without any loss of bass. While the Exposure should drive the 1.3s without a problem you will notice quite a difference if you get a chance to try something with a bit more oomph - if you're happy with the sound they make don't try, enjoy instead!
