Solid State Power Amps

I have the PS audio BHK 250 and a Pass Labs X 250.5 the biggest thing for me is the SERVICE AFTER the sale both of these companies STAND behind what they sell period. I have communicated with Paul and his son Scott on many occasions as well as most of their staff they are always very professional they truly care about your experience. In general, I think Accuphase is overpriced in the US market.

you should audition an Ayre product.......very neutral and high end gear

Looking at the impedance curve that @hilde45 posted tells us you need an amp that can handle impedances that dip below 3 ohms. So, make sure any amp you look at produces enough CURRENT to handle that load. Don't worry too much about watts since the Focal is fairly sensitive and will play loudly with minimal watts. 

The new AGD Solo LE amps! Their amps can be upgraded as the technology improves.

Check out my review of the Michi 8 mono blocks.
