So I'm a newbie and I've been doing a lot of research to piece together my first system for my livingroom. I've settled on the new NAD D 3020 as my integrated amp and I'm trying to choose speakers. I was originally thinking of getting bookshelfs on stands (Polk RtiA3s or perhaps Dali Zensor 3s), but then I recently auditioned a pair of the new Focal Chorus 714 floor standing speakers. The Focals are more than I wanted to spend, but they sounded spectacular, albeit powered by a bigger amp than I'd be getting. Do you all think I would have any problems driving the Focal 714s with the NAD D3020? Would I be better off getting the Zensor 3s? The room is fairly large - 22 x 16.
Thank you for your input.
