Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals

My speaker is like a Beryllium based speaker, the Yamaha NS5000 (the child of the Be Original Gangster, so to speak). It uses Zylon for the drivers, and it is as detailed as Be.

After hearing the 761 I wanted to get it to pair it with the NS5000, because that would be something special. Great detail but no harshness and also lots of power. I would have rotated the CODA #16 amp and the 761/861 between my 2 system. Luckily, I am tapped out $$ wise and went with a cheaper amp (good enough for now).

@audphile1 Have you heard the North collection? I haven't heard the previous models but I was told that the previous models were clear and transparent while the North more colored and warm (when compared to the previous models).

I have the amp but it is not hooked up yet... I need someone to help me lift it out of the case. 

I’ve been using a pair of Sopra n.2 for quite some time.  My Moon 720i worked very well at moderate volume.  Currently I’m using a MA9500 with 300wpc for my large room. 

No. Had the 330a though. It was transparent but never harsh. I have a lot of doubts about the new moon north being colored and warm in any way. You don’t want this level of amplifier to color and warm things. Expect it to be refined and present a super clear view of what’s in the source. 

I am interested in you conclusions about the equipment pairing. I have a pair of Moon 880M's & am in need of new speakers. Focals are on the short list.
