RE: Amplifier Recommendations for Focal 905

Posted by Alnicoman on January 14, 2017 at 04:50:54:

My experience with Focal Chorus floor-standers (I believe they were 826's) about 4 years ago leads me to recommend that you do not pair your speakers with a bright sounding amp.

I was using an Exposure 2010s2 integrated, a great amp by the way, and there was way too much top end energy for my tastes. Quite harsh with certain material. Couldn't blame the amp or my CD player because once the Focals were replaced with my current Tannoy's, everything got a whole lot better. My system was literally transformed.

The Focals are thankfully long gone and I have no desire to replaced the Tannoy Precision 6.4's. They are far better speakers in every respect.

I guess this turned from am amp recommendation post into a "are you sure about the Focals?" post. Oh well, take it as you see fit.
