today i got my new Focal Electra 1038BE ,help

oday i got my brand new Focal Electra 1038BE , need some help for the rest of the system

later i will add the Electra center and rear
sub , i don't know if to buy the electra also or something else

cables?

Multi channel amp and pre processor

until now i connect my computer with optic cable to the receiver with motherboard sound card

i'm new to the high end sound
until now i connect my computer with optic cable to the receiver with motherboard sound card
i don't even now what is DAC and how to get good sources

because i want to use the system for HT and also for stereo music
i need Multi channel amp and pre processor , right?

Classe' SSP-800 , what are their price? i think they are too expensive
i need to invest more money on the rest of the Electra system

red that the 1038 BE
are very clear and pure sound
need very good amp

can you recommend amp that match?

i have tech question:
usually i hear full detail when i listen in high volume
but i don't have dedicate isolated sound room that i can listen without interrupt to other people around.

there is a way to enjoy music without high volume?
maybe specific Amp better then other for that
or my big speakers can't do that anyway?

(hope you understand my poor english)

this model can be good enough for pre ?

Just to make sure Pelo, you're running music off from your PC via optical output? Did I mistaken you with someone else?

Aaronknock: The DFPC signatature power cords may very well be excellent cables but they are $1149.00 for a two meter cord. IMO power cords would typically be the last thing I would concentrate my efforts towards, Keep it simple for the time being and then experiment at later time

yes i'm playing from my computer with optic cable

Parasound Halo are great , my only concern is:
only few Watts using Class A
is that ok?

there is a AMP that using more class A watts?

Simaudio
Modwright 150 (stereo amp) or KWI 200 integrated
Pass Labs X250.5 , XA60.5
Nad M3

i can try to find used in mint condition
or seek for good deal on new model , usually around 20-25% less then MSRP price

Class A only AMP like XA60.5
how does it works? 60W per channel can drive the speakers for high level like 250W (X250.5)?
X250.5 output 190W more per channel

Pelo911:
You said you have $5k-8k for electronics, and that this does not include money for home theater. What did you mean by "electronics"? Does that mean $5k-8k for amp and DAC? Or, does that $5k-8k also include other things like loudspeaker cables and interconnects?
