The Marsh Amps are good. The Adcom 5802 modified by Stan Warren for 350 dollars sounds incredible. This Amp sounds smooth and sweet with lots of power.
Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus
I have started upgrading my system and would like some suggestions on amps for the Focus. The amps I'm interested in are, not in any specific order: 1.Jeff Rowland Model 2 (this would probably be bi-amped). 2.Classe CA-200S. 3.Marsh A-400S. 4.Bryston 4BST. I'm actually leaning towards the Marsh. As of right now my system consists of: Yamaha line of 1000U components (amp, pre-amp, cd, tuner). My turntable, which will be staying, Denon DP2000 with an SME series III tonearm and Denon 103S cartridge. Legacy Focus speakers (my first upgrade from Infinity Kappa 8's).Interconnects are Monster's Reference line. I have built my own speaker wires, which are 12gauge fine copper, terminated with banana plugs (which are crimped and soldered with high silver content solder), which will be staying also. We listen to primarily rock, but also classical, jazz, big band, orchestral, no opera... yeeeesh. If anyone has any other suggestions they are definetely welcomed. The upgrade after the amp will be the pre-amp, and so on back through the chain. Thank you in advance for any help.
