Amplifier recommendation for Legacy Focus 20/20

I don't know off hand where you could find one, but I've seen several on Audiogon in the last couple of years. If one becomes available, jump on it, even if it has issues, Krell will put it right without charging an arm and a leg. You'll have a classic that probably can't be bettered easily without spending lots of $$$$!

Well, from what i can gather, Dan has purchased a Pass X250 amp. How do you like that combo, Dan? Sean

Hybrid amps are a combination of a tube driver stage with a solid state ouput stage. They tend to be a little warmer sounding than their completely solid state competitors. As other people have mentioned, any of the amps mentioned so far would work well with the Focus. BTW, I owned and enjoyed Focus speakers for 7 years. Another amp I forgot to mention is Belles. Don't consider an amp with less than 100 watt/ch unless you listen at low volumes. I wouldn't obsess over one amp brand but consider several then wait until one of them comes up on Audiogon for a good price.

If you want to hear every instrument in an orchestra throughout the play of a disc, even all in the violin section, then please consider the H2O Signature monos, $5,500. Read audiofankj's review here:

Sean, has definetly been looking around... Yes I purchased the Pass X250. I like the amp very much. Alot more detail than the CJ and the Bass has tightened up. Overall a little bright but I think that was the preamp. I put my PV12L up for sale along with the MF2200.anD I am waiting for the Pass X1 that Ranger audio HAD for sale to arrive.

Again, I could not have done this without the help from the pros on this forum.
