Focal 906

I have a pair of the 906's on matching stands/Marantz HD-AMP1 (35 wpc @ 8 ohms).

I'm running either TIDAL streaming (HiFi) or Hi-Res files via Audirvana.

For the most part, it sounds really nice especially since I experimented with placement and have them just right.

My question is if the AMP1 has enough power to get these guys going? On the highs on some recordings, I can hear some ??? (I think they call it digital hash?)

BTW, suggested power (from Focal literature is "25-100 watts").

Listening Room = 15' x 12'
Musical Preferences: Rock, Folk, Blues, Classical

If you are turning it up any decent amount, or listening to stuff with some substantial bass content, I'd be willing to bet you would greatly benefit from more power.

Keep in mind, those 906's sound best pointed almost straight ahead, with almost zero toe in.  You should get incredible imaging that way and a gigantic holographic soundstage.

No problem.  The 906’s are startlingly good speakers when set up right.
