Not impressed

OP you are dead WRONG!There has NEVER been a better time to get top quality sound from beer budget priced components!
DUMP the seperates and get an Integrated Amp,preferably all Tube or Tube/SS Hybrid...Then dump the Focus 110's,which are thin in the bass & have a nasty mid bass hump to make up for thin bass...Move into the Excite series,MUCH more natural & easier to drive...

Check the 'Buy By' Date. : )

well, Ill tell ya, why don't you just get an MC275 a decent pair of fairly efficient speakers, maybe good bookshelf speakers, good stands, and be happy for a long time.  The MC275 is really just a great music maker, maybe for somebody who just loves music and is not worried about the last enth of detail although it does a pretty amazing job with musical presentation.  Very analog sounding.  You may be amazed.  I actually think its the best sounding Mac amp in their lineup.  Its a music lovers amp.  Don't believe the the anti Mac stuff out there and listen to one.  Try to find an older one as they are built like a tank and will last forever.

The Fritz rev 5 was great but I did not have the right amplification or room setup up at the time. They did not pull double duty for home theatre as well as another speaker I had at the time but they were far more musical. Right before I returned them I had them in an open set up in my basement, they sounded so good in that space. Smooth with a big sound stage.
