    Lawrence is spot on. If you have a connection with the DM2 (which I quite understand, as I have a pair myself), don't let the amp determine their fate. Speaker choice is a very personal thing- generally amps come second in the great hifi hierarchy....I'd be more inclined to swap amps.

    Also, in this time of isolation, amp-swapping is far more possible!

    I agree with Grant. I use a pair in a small listening room and they work very well indeed, plus Nathan is just up the road in Yate.

    Forgot to mention I've had 3 pairs in the past They were probably my favourite vintage speakers of that period, better than any Kefs I tried, but then I've never owned BC1s, Rogers monitors etc.

    Actually if you like DM2s that might be the road to go on. What were those bigger Rogers ones LS something, I forget the model, but well worth buying if you can find a pair (might be a bit above the budget though).

    I love the Dm2s but lacking a bit on the bass for me and I would like more of an open sound

    If that's the ones I mentioned they are super efficient and even a little t amp, or a valve set amp will drive them well. Think sensitivity is about 96db

    This is where my understand of speakers is limited - I don't fully know what sensitivity means. I understand wattage

    They don't need many Watts to drive them loudly. They will get too loud long before your amp runs out of power.

    A QUAD 606 would drive Edingdales no problem at all. They are very sensitive/efficient and an easy load.
