Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W

So far I am listening Focals 807W with the NAD C356, 80W x 2.
I upgraded Pre/Amp jumpers with the Cardas Golden jumpers
and it sounds great but there is one problem, power.
My speakers are 92.5 Db so i can not turn the volume up.
I always keep on 0.5 for quiet listening. Once I approach
Volume 1, it's already too loud. I was thinking to try
50W x 2 Integrated amplifier. Is the Simaudio Neo 250i good
match for the Focals. I listened Focals with the Sim. 600i
and the sound was that good that I couldn't believe that
Focals can sound that good, but the price is out of my budget.
Thank you in advance.

Snecma-

look into a Bryston. This is a good sonic match for Focal speakers. Another option would be Creek- very musical amp and easy to integrate into your system.

Which cables/power cords do you plan to use?
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I paired them with a Peachtree Decco 65 for about a year. The combo was quite pleasing to my ears.

Eventually I ran the D65 in preamp mode to a Dared SL200A, then to a UPA-200 from Emotiva. Really fantastic combination right there.

Stick with the NAD - that’s a great amp.
