Nominal Impedance of 4 Ohms means that the Definitive Technology Dymension DM30 is a difficult to drive speaker from nominal Impedance perspective, make sure that you choose an amplifier than can provide 4 Ohms for this speaker.
Many AVRs (audio/video receiver) in the market may have difficulty when the speakers dip below the 4 Ohms levels (this may cause clipping or even physical damage), so we recommend to not pair the Definitive Technology Dymension DM30 with an AVR but use an Integrated Amplifier instead.
Sensitivity
93dB of Definitive Technology Dymension DM30 is considered a high sensitivity compared to average stereo speaker which makes Dymension DM30 an easy to drive from Sensitivity perspective. If you are planning to power your speaker with a Tube amp which are generally very low power, the Definitive Dymension DM30 will be a good choice.
