Nova & Spendor D7 - Anyone?

I used to run an NDX with the D7's and that was a good match. 

Obviously concerned with the Nova's (80W/8ohms) power amp ability to drive them.   As there are not so many Nova's around yet,  maybe better ask the question what do peeps use to drive Spendor D7's. 

I heard them at a dealers driven by NAP200 (70W/8ohms) & they sounded superb.  It was a bigg'ish room & the balance was excellent even at high volume.   I've also heard them on Nait-5 (not sure the version) (50W or 60W/8ohms)  & that worked OK from what I could hear. 

Nova should be more than able to run D7 properly. I've had D7 at home in demo for over a week when I compared them with ATC SCM40MkII. D7 was super easy load for SN2 + HiCap DR. It was one of the fastest sounding combos I've ever heard, extremely transparent, detailed and quick sound with nice punch considering the size of D7. ATC is much harder load for SN2, which btw is also specced at 80W @ 8ohm, and sounded slightly lagging after D7. Why I didn't purchase D7's in the end was slight listening fatigue I experienced in a long run. Hearing pretty much every detail possible can get slightly fatiguing in the end.

Thanks, well I have a Nova but considering the D7's. I'm presuming it will drive them fine with 80W and 90db sensitivity on the D7's. More wondering from a general synergy point of view if they were considered a good pairing. I have the A4's which I like but bought them for my Atom which kinda became a Nova after a few months! Looking for a bit more scale as I've a big room. Yes Patu, I've read various reviews which are mainly positive but it does seem they're quite unforgiving so would also have a concern around potential fatigue, obviously a decent demo is the way to go

Speakers are a very personal choice and I would strongly advise to demo  as many speakers in your price range to narrow down the choice and then a home demo to ensure they work in your room and with your system.

I have been using a pair of D7s for well over two years to be fair they weren't on my radar when I started to demo for a new system but they were the speakers that I much preferred.

Use to run them with a 250dr but upgraded to a 300dr last year and they sound terrific on the end of my system.

Enjoy your journey just take your time.
