Legacy speakers and what amps?

Hi all!

I want to upgrade to Legacy speakers. Possibly the Classic HD or maybe even the Focus SE. I've heard them both and I like what I hear. I'll most likely also need to upgrade my preamp and amp.

I'm not an audiophile but I do like a decent sound. I listen to rock and blues, from the Beatles to Blackfoot to Van Halen to Iron Maiden. I know that music doesn't tend to have the best recordings but it is what I like. Once in a while I like to listen to the music with some volume because I like to feel the music. The girlfriend doesn't like that so I normally do that when she's not home.

At this point I'm trying to figure out what pre-amp and amp would be a great match for the Focus speakers. What will make those speakers kick some butt?

That being said, the gear I want to end up with must not be too big and heavy. I want to be able to move it around once in a great while.

Also, I'm going to have to purchase used gear because I can't afford new.

Recommendations please and thanks for your time!

I used to have Legacy Classics and used a Rotel RB-1080 and it worked just fine. A good, high current, class A/B amp will give you great results.
Legacy used to, or still does, make their own amps so asking them would go a long towards answering your question.
