RE: Amplifier Recommendations for Focal 905

Posted by raya on January 12, 2017 at 06:10:04:
Although I'm not directly familiar with the 905's I do have a pair of Micro Utopia's, which are a bit more efficient. I run them on a pair of Rogue M120 and they sound great.
Yours being less sensitive probably need at least 45 watts of tube power, depending on the size of your room. Rogue, Primiluna and Jolida, to name a few, make great affordable integrated amps and should be considered.
If tubes make you nervous, and they shouldn't, Peachtree makes a great tube buffered, Class D amp, which is kind of like a Swiss army knife, as it comes with USB and coax, opt and aux inputs and may suit your needs until you desire or want to move up to separates. I believe it is 65 watts and should be more than enough to drive your speakers to concert like volume.
Good luck.
