Focal Maestro Utopia , need advice for AMP/PRE

more and more Focal owner recommend me to use Accuphase
they said it's on different class then almost anything with Utopia models.

anybody here think the same?
what model have enough power to drive the Maestro at their best?

To follow up, I can't say that the Focals require a solid state power beast to perform their best, only that the Krell gears was far superior to my ear compared to Asthetix.

I did hear one of the mid level Utopia speakers with a Pathos Logos and has no objections, but it was in a much less controlled environment and a much shorter experience.

My speakers are Focal 836v and I have heard them on the Krell amplifiers and was equally impressed and am currently blown away with the sound of my Yaqin tube amplifier and would put it on par with the Krell S-300i. I wouldn't exclude tubes from potentially sounding fantastic with any Focal speaker, but if I had the funds to get into the Utopia line I would go Krell and never look back.

someone here know about any Focal Maestro owner that i can ask what he chose for AMP/PRE/DAC ?

I have the focal Utopia Diva Be speakers and ran them with the McCormack DNA 225 and the DNA 500. I am presently using a VTL Stereo 90 Deluxe Ultra-Linear Tube Amp designed by David Manley with a restored Harman Kardon Citation 1 Pre.I prefer the all tube system.

I would listen to the speakers prior to any amp replacement and then if you feel it is necessary you may want to look at the Pass X600.5's"

Not a bad idea; move up to the Pass X600.5 Monoblocks.
