The Focus 20/20's and Focus HD's are a nominal 4-ohm load so this would appear to be a good match. The only caveat I can offer is that I've ne... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs You'll be very happy with what happens with this speaker at the 100, 200, 250+ burn-in marks. What speakers did you have before? I had the Focus 20/20's and was extremely happy with them overall; the HDs are a world apart (better) in terms of ever... | |

| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs DCstep: my apologies for missing the add of the Capri to the list; it was not intentional. I was trying to take an 'audio sanity break' from an overly busy day at work and added some entries but missed yours. Again, my apologies.I just took a look... | |
