What amps/preamps/integrateds to use with a particular speaker?


Hi all!
I hear that a good way to assemble a stereo system is to buy the speakers one wants and then buy the amp/preamp/integrated that will work well with the speakers.
I want to buy Legacy Audio Classic HD floorstanders. What would you recommend for an amp/preamp/integrated that you think would work well with these speakers?
I listen to 50s-80s classic rock, blues and old school metal such as Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Sometimes I like to feel the music a bit but my old ears can’t handle very loud volume like they used to.
Anyway, thanks for all of your recommendations! I’m looking forward to reading your responses.

Hi Audiotroy!
Are you talking about the Signature SE?  I don't like that model because it's a sealed cabinet.  I used to own a pair of Focus SEs but I don't have them any more.  I wish I did but I've had to downsize.

I don't play my system too loud any more.  My old ears can't handle that volume.

I'm in an apartment and I wish I wasn't.  I sit about 8 feet from the speakers I now have.  I sit in front of the left speaker because there is not enough room to place the chairs in the middle of the room.
The living room is not damped.
I don't want a streaming amplifier.
Audiotroy,
I don't like sealed cabinets.  My preference is for a rear-ported design.
I have an external phono preamp and an external DAC.
What's wrong with the forum editor?  My editing (spacing, etc.) is not being taken by the editor.
Hmmm...no responses...
I guess I’ll have to get things started. How about these...?
