I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Hegel as well, but unfortunately I don’t see anyone near me in Tampa that has them for a Demo. The price seems better than most and supposedly they are built quite well for SS amps.
Just got the Focal Scala V2 at a great price
Hi folks
need some recommendations on the amps and preamps for these speakers. I got them 2nd hand for a great price as I was not willing to spend £25k+ for the ‘upgraded’ Evo. Too much money for a bit more which I don’t think is worth it. Now my old amps will not cut the mustard here and I need to seriously get something new to do them justice. I listen to a wide variety of genres mainly vynils from rock to blues to Pink Floyd, heavy metal, pop etc... I love the bass and it’s very important to me. Bright sound doesn’t put me off. Thanks for your input and help here

If you want to support your British brethren, have a look here for some amp manufacturers. http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/best-of-british/ The stuff I’ve seen from Chord, looks impressive, but the cost seems to match. Way out of my budget. And if if you want to find a French amp maker to power your French speakers, check this site out for some ideas. Or you can use this site to look for all amp manufacturers for that matter. http://hifi-products.com/hifi-audio-manufacturers-france.html The Jadis tube amps look nice. Being in in the US, I hope to someday have some Mcintosh gear. Some seem to bash them but from what I have seen and listened, I think you can’t go wrong with Mac gear. Plus it holds its value better than just about any hi fi products I’ve seen. Searches on audiogon will confirm as much. Congrats on the Focals, btw. |
