Some of the options i found in my price range are

Marantz M-CR510
Marantz PM 5005
CA Topaz SR20 V2
CA Topaz SR10
 
Hi Das,
Welcome to Stereo World. Congrats of Dali Speakers. What is the Source ?CD Player \DVD\Laptop ? What kids of music you play and share some details about your music collection?
 
Marantz PM 5005 and Dali might sound a bit bright together if you like that kinda sound , my prefferd amp with Dali would be a Denon PMA720AE or Yamaha AS501/701 to balance out Dalis slight brightness and forward nature.
 
Marantz is more balanced than Cambridge Audio, Marantz will be superior to the CA models you mentioned.
Go with a proper stereo amp not the M series if possible, if SQ is of highest importance then the Marantz PM series will be of better value than the 'Melody series.
 
acoustic portrait is a local manufacturer of amps out of bangalore. not much in terms of features but excellent in terms of sound quality. ahead of the ones you've mentioned. they have a 75w model integrated for rs36k
 
Hi Das,

The key is to audition and decide..also read online feedback and see a couple of videos..

If budget is a constraint, look at For Sale by owner or Hi Fi ads...

All the best!

Marantz is a warm sounding amplifier and is ideal for Dali
