Amplifier recommendation for Legacy Focus 20/20

Dave, Thanks for the offer I just may take you up on that one of these days. I received the X1 and the wife loves the sound , me... lets just say the jury is still out. Too many variables on this one. I am playing with cables,etc,but it should come together.

I appreciate all your responses regarding the preamp. At this point I am just waiting to receive it. I was told I would get it by Friday so I will be posting my feelings once it is up and running.
The CJ has brand new tubes , I guess that could be a contributing factor to the reason I find the system a little on the bright side. Also my cables are new...

Jayarr, thanks for your input as you can probably tell I am not well versed in the electronics end of thos hobby. Would you favor one of the amps you mentioned or my previous considerations? If you or anyone else out there has the time I am open for an education.
Hybrid amps???

Sgr,
you wouldn't happen to know where to find one? I've read on other threads about the 250 but I never spoke to someone who actually listened to them with the Focus.
Did your friend bi-wire, bi-amp? Room type comes into play... My listening area is 20x15 but one end at the length opens into the foyer.

The Mac I am looking at is a valve , the 275, @ 75 watts do you think it will have enough to push these babies or should I look toward the Solid state Macs?

How difficult is it going to be for me to find one of these amps ?
It seems that the owners just hang on to them

Gentlemen I thank you for tons of information...I am somewhat overwhelmed at this point but I will try to absorb and Apply this acquired knowledge to my purchase. Again thanks too all. Particularly to Sean who gave me positive and objective info on a speaker that I know you are less than fond of ( I have been reading your old threads). I 'll be back with my results , if anyone should come across something that would be right for my needs please contact me.

John,thanks for reearching the for sale amps... Greatly appreciated and I am doing my homework.

Best regards
Dan

Sean, has definetly been looking around... Yes I purchased the Pass X250. I like the amp very much. Alot more detail than the CJ and the Bass has tightened up. Overall a little bright but I think that was the preamp. I put my PV12L up for sale along with the MF2200.anD I am waiting for the Pass X1 that Ranger audio HAD for sale to arrive.

Again, I could not have done this without the help from the pros on this forum.

I have a dedicated line which I had put in for audio purposes years ago. Since then we have rearranged furnishings and plugging the amp into this outlet would require a 12 to 15 ft power cable. Is this too long?

No comments on the X1???
