Welcome.

I can't see a reason why the Amp wouldn't couple nicely with these speakers, but imo an ultra / vibelink pair or amp ultra would be better!
I say that from using an amp pro (not the amp, I don't have one of them), a vibelink and an amp ultra in various setups, and if the additional cash isn't an issue then both the vibelink (digital input) and amp ultra are, imo, noticeably and significantly better than the amp pro.

But I fully appreciate if you want an opinion from someone with your described / intended setup!

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, Wiim Amp ultra would be a safe bet, but is out of my budget.

The WiiM Amp is fully capable of driving my floor standing Tannoy 615 speakers.

I don’t see any reason why it would have any issues driving your Polk speakers.

You could get the Amp, and try it out to see if you like it, and if not, you can return it.

I wish I could!
I´m in Argentina and return policy is not standard here.
Locally WiiM Amp price is about USD 580, and WiiM AMp Ultra not available yet, but my guess is it will be around USD1000
