Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals

Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered a Moon 861 amp! I am very excited! It will be coming next week. I have a pair of focal Sopra n1 speakers that I'll be using on it. I've never heard them paired before. I heard a moon audio 761 on dynaudio towers and so that's what turned me on to The Moon North collection.

 

I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Hopefully it pairs really good with good synergy with the focals. Has anyone ever heard the moon north gear on Focals before?

Just wanted to mention that I upgraded to a Eversolo A8... it helped a lot. I'm learning every component matters when doing separates.

Just to follow up... I am coming close to a 100 hours. I can def. start to hear the same traits I heard when I listened to it in the store. It's quite a interesting phenomenon. It's not all the time... I think it is just  beginning. But at  times the detail is quite amazing and so real. Incredible. It's like I am in the studio. All the treble that I complained about before is gone now... it sounds very smooth.  Quite a interesting and pure sound.... I would compare it to having headphones on.

Just wanted to do another follow up... lately I noticed the Moon is sounding really good. I think it's really starting to break in now. There are times when I hear some music from it and I am just like... wow!
