Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20?
I would second Bel Canto eVo series amps. Esp eVo 4 is worth auditioning, since is much better sounding than 200.2 or eVo 2 and only slightly more expensive (eVo 4 is two eVo 2s in one chessis).I run my eVo 4 in bridged mode (2 x 700W at 4 Ohm) wi...

Tube preamp for a Bel Canto eVo2 Gen II
