I think you will find that the sound quality of the Dali speakers is MUCH better than the Yamahas.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to 2-way vs 3-way speakers; that discussion gets very technical if it addresses the issues thoroughly. It involves crossover types and designs, driver types and designs, and enclosure types and designs. There is no simple answer as to which is "better".
I will also advise you that in my personal experience Yamaha amplifiers and receivers are the worst-designed and most overpriced on the market. I would strongly advise against them.
NAD and Cambridge make far better amplifiers and receivers, and one only has to do a direct comparison to hear the difference in sound quality. Even Marantz is far far better than Yamaha.
I also think that the Yamaha would be totally unsuitable for driving the Dali speakers because of its low-quality amplifiers and power supplies.
It will help in making specific recommendations if you specify whether this is to be a 2-channel or multi-channel system and what your budget limits are.
