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

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Hegel as well, but unfortunately I don’t see anyone near me in Tampa that has them for a Demo. The price seems better than most and supposedly they are built quite well for SS amps.
I heard Focal speakers with Mark Levinson amps years ago and that worked great. Maybe their latest integrated will suite you.
For something French you can try Devialet.
For a power amp that won't break your budget but will drive any speaker made try the Anthem P2 amp 325 WPC and it will drive speakers all the way down to 1 ohm with no problems.
You still didn’t state a budget. 
 
Either way, Nord One NC500MB monoblocks for <£1400. Comes in black or silver.
 
For the preamp/DAC, not sure, the Parasound Halo P6 is great, comes in black or silver. 
 
Don’t let anyone tell you that you need £10,000 worth of gear to make those speakers shine.
