| Upgrading speaker cables... @dill is right. The key is how resolving your system is which will dictate how much difference you hear. | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used I’d venture the stock cord is fine. Buy music instead. Seems a waste unless you are aiming for “forum hero™️“ | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Source isn’t changing this year. Speakers stay.Spent $1500 on power amp (A-A/B @110wpc)Once funds are available: $1600 on preamp (tube hybrid?)Schiit Sys will fill in until funds make the preamp happen. After amp burn in I’ll change speaker cables... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) New system sourced. Over budget but since I elected to go separates I’ll try to be patient (ha) and pick things up one at a time. Firm game plan: Staying with same brand for amp/pre for synergy.Schiitt Sys is on its way to stand in for the preamp ... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Interesting. Well if anyone willpick the one single amp that sucks with their speakers it will definitely be me.Working on new amplification now. TIme to give that Marantz a new home. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) It may simply be that you don't like how your amp sounds on this speaker, but the idea that it does not drive the speaker correctly is simply not true. So the fact that the speaker impedance is at its lowest in the midbass (4.2ohms at 118hz) an... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) So I need class A with good voltage delivery and not tons of wattage. Something like the F5 Yes? | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) It does. Yes. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) No.... You're not understanding this problem right at all. Stop thinking about this as a wattage problem. Wattage is an abstraction and those calculators you linked to are not at all telling you what you need to know. Focal speakers are designed... | |

| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @uberwaltz That being said they were never ever driven with less than 150wpc amps with current to spare........ I am currently eyeing an amp thats 150wpc but my concern is how much louder it will be like once you leave "0" on the volume haha. That... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I am a rocker/noise guy and vouch for McCormack 225 / RLD-1 with Platinum upgrades w/ Dynaudio Contour S1.4 and a REL Stadium III. Mostly vinyl but supporting all formats Thanks. You're running them with Focal speakers? I'm confused. I'm not bu... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @kosst_amojenI have to ask: while searching in the speaker forum here you commented about these speakers needing "good class a power to make them shine" and also: " Robust solid state power is what those speakers like, especially class A power. I’... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) There are two options I have that I think would be great matches with your budget and speakers:Dayens Ecstasy III - 100 WPC integrated that offers refined sound with a natural ease to the music. Retail is $2,200. https://www.audiothesis.com/ec... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Ha! Guess that base is well covered! Maybe a different amp is what you need. Not necessarily more power though. I was thinking that an amp that doubled its wattage at 4 ohms having more current vs more wattage.I went to my local Focal dealer and ... |
