Yap, you was right. On Tuesday I packed the Focals and
went to the Store. The Focals sounded terribly with the Naim. The dealer suggested Arcam A19 but he don't carry the
Arcam's gear. Any opinion on the Arcam.
Zd542,
That was good one. I think that anything at Walmart would sound better then Naim.

I don't need lots of power, 2x50/55w would be enough. I do
like the Parasound power Amplifiers but not the Preamps.

I will try with the Arcam A19. Would be Arcam more open then
NAD.
Samac and Zd542,
Thank you much on opinions.
Actually, I am listening the Focals with the NAD C356BEE.
I upgraded the stock Pre/Amp jumpers with the Cardas jumpers. The sound is good, deep bass and extended highs. The problem is, the Volume gain on the NAD.
I barely can move the volume knob.
On 6.35 position is already too loud.
That's the only reason why am I looking for the Amplifier
with the similar sound to the NAD. The Arcam could be even better solution since I heard that is warmer than NAD

Sorry, I exaggerated. It was not 6H 35m, it's more like
6H 40m. The rest of the system is: Sony SCD-XA5400ES;
Tascam MD-02B Minidisc and the Focal 807W Speakers.
The Speakers Cables: Signal Cable
Interconnects: Tara Labs
And yes, I am using only one pair of the speakers.
