I had these speakers at one time, I drove them with a Anthem 225 IA, and thought it sounded great. However I moved to a Bryston B-100 (Much better amp) and it was a big jump up in overall sound quality. So has others have already stated, a good high quality amp that can provide high current is the way to go.
Focal Chorus 826W with Rotel RC/RB 1070?
Hi all,
I have an opportunity to acquire a pair of Focal Chorus 826W for a good price. Wondering what you think about pairing them with a Rotel RC/RB 1070 pre/power amp? I hear really good things about Focal speakers. Is Focal + Rotel a good combo?
Main sources include a Pro-ject Debut Carbon DC (with acrylic platter and Nagaoka MP-150) and digital from PC through Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2 DAC. Current speakers are Paradigm 11SE MkIII.
Is the Chorus 826W a good speaker? Would they be a marked improvement over the Paradigm speakers (which I have to say I am pretty happy with)?
I'd appreciate any opinions or advice you may have before plunking down a chunk of change for the Focals.
Thanks!
