A/V receiver and Legacy Focus SE speakers


I am going to up grade my Home theater, I have been using a Yamaha A/V for a very long time with Klipsch speakers….so wondering if anyone has been using Legacy Focus  speakers, will they be good non-fatiguing for two channel music…manufacture recommends over 30 watts so more then that would be better…

Is there a A/V with enough power for the Legacy in the main channel without a external amplifier?

I believe the PS Audio Stellar Strata also has a HT bypass feature and should have enough power.  They have a free trial period so you can return it if it doesn’t work for you.  I don’t own one…I have a 2-channel system with a Yamaha rn-2000a receiver and use HDMI-arc for TV and movies.

@soix I do have a Pass Labs preamp XP-12 with HT by-pass wondering if I get a different amp and keep my preamp, dacs and streamer …

Yeah the Pass pre should be a huge improvement I’d think.  Definitely get that in there, and the XA25 may work given the relatively high sensitivity of the Focus — certainly worth a shot. 

10-4, will give it a try…but a intergrated would eliminate a lot of gear…one with a big enough amplifier,Dac and airplay..built in..

For your purposes, I would go with either an Emotiva AVR if on a limited budget, or an Anthem AVR at the higher end. Enjoy!
