What amps/preamps/integrateds to use with a particular speaker?


Hi all!
I hear that a good way to assemble a stereo system is to buy the speakers one wants and then buy the amp/preamp/integrated that will work well with the speakers.
I want to buy Legacy Audio Classic HD floorstanders. What would you recommend for an amp/preamp/integrated that you think would work well with these speakers?
I listen to 50s-80s classic rock, blues and old school metal such as Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Sometimes I like to feel the music a bit but my old ears can’t handle very loud volume like they used to.
Anyway, thanks for all of your recommendations! I’m looking forward to reading your responses.

There won't be much trouble about lots of choices, BUT first, you should give an idea of your budget.
diofan we are legacy audio dealers can you go up to the Focus Signatures they are a big improvement over the Classics.

How loud do you play?

How far away from the speakers are you?

Part of the amplifier equation is the source components some integrated amplifiers are also dacs and some stream as well.

Also is the room very shouty or well damped?

If you want a streaming  amplifier do you have an ethernet connection in the room next to the system or would you use an ethernet bridge?
