As a prior and very happy owner of a pair of Focus SE's, I can tell you that the only way to really wake the bass up is to feed these speakers with alot of power. A 250 watt/side class A/B did it for me. As to what Integrated might fill this bill, Pass Labs, top end Accuphase - or - consider running them bi-amped. Final option you might consider is selling the SE's and uplifting to the XD's (internal powered woofers).
Integrated for Legacy Audio Focus SE's
I have been researching integrated amplifiers for use with my Focus SE's. I have looked at all of the usual suspects like Luxman, Accuphase, Sim Audio Moon, and even delved into various tube integrateds although I'm becoming convinced that is not the way to go to control the low end the SE's are capable of producing. It's all fine and good to research different gear but of course there is no way to know how they would drive the Legacy's. I would like to get feedback from anyone using an integrated to drive your SE's and what you like or dislike about it. Is there an integrated out there that can take full advantage of the SE's capabilities?
