Focal 826W and Dynaudio Focus 140


I currently have an Anthem 225 IA, a pair of Focal 826W w/a 800V sub. The system sounds great, but I have thought of adding a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140 monitors. Is their any benifits to use a four speakers' w/a 2 channel amp? Or should I stay w/a pair of Focal monitors. Lastly do I risk working the amp too much w/the additiona; load?

Thanks for any feed back.

Thanks, for all the responses.

I'm very happy with my Focals, they sounded better any other speaker I auditioned in that price band. My only goal is I wanted to know if I could expand the range of sound by adding an additional pair of speakers, using a two channel amp (I perfer a 2 channel to AV proccessor.) From this feedback, I can see nothing of value will be obtained. My wife will be glad to hear that.

I'm interested in the Dynaudio from reading the glowing reviews and thought they would be a good choice as a second pair. I may still get them and set-up a secondary system someday, but will be content to enjoy what I have now.

This feedback has been very helpful and I thank you.
Again thanks for the feed back!

I will certainly check out both the 52SE and Contour S 1.4's, I have seen them both listed here before and agree they seem to be priced better.

Also with the Dynaudio being rated at 4 ohms and my Focals rated at 8 ohms, I and can see there is a mismash in impedance and they probably won't provide greater depth in overall sound.

As far as second amp, any thought on the Arcam A38, as compared to the Bryston B100 SST, aside from the cost difference of the Bryston. The Arcam is more in my budget and seveal AV stores in my area have it.
