Just got the Focal Scala V2 at a great price

Hi folks

need some recommendations on the amps and preamps for these speakers.  I got them 2nd hand for a great price as I was not willing to spend £25k+ for the ‘upgraded’ Evo.  Too much money for a bit more which I don’t think is worth it.  Now my old amps will not cut the mustard here and I need to seriously get something new to do them justice.  I listen to a wide variety of genres mainly vynils from rock to blues to Pink Floyd, heavy metal, pop etc... I love the bass and it’s very important to me.  Bright sound doesn’t put me off.  Thanks for your input and help here

How far away to you listen? Budget and location? Would you ever want to add a subwoofer or do DSP?

It’s purely stereo Hifi and am based in the UK.  Didnt think a sub was in play with these speakers but I might be mistaken.  Any help here is more appreciated cheers

I am new to this hobby, but I speak with a little experience. I recently purchased the Focal Electra 1028BE and love them. The first amp I purchased to power the Focals was underpowered and the bass is the first place it showed up. I returned the amp and went back to the store (where I purchased the speakers) and bought the same rig (amp, streamer and preamp) they were using. IF that is not an option then I would suggest looking at NAIM amplifiers.
