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 ?

thanks , i will try

now i'm focus on PRE and Cables

TUBE pre it's a good idea?
what is the cost to replace lamps?
how often ?
2-3 models you recommend? then i will look for them

interconnect and speakers cable:
on the Pass labs user manual i got they recommend to get thick and short , silver or copper cable
2-3 models you recommend? then i will look for them

and something that confused me:
DAC with pre build in will work for me or i should must to buy dedicate Pre?
I KNOW ITS YOUR DECISION BUT I WOULD DEDICATE THOSE 1038'S TO 2 CHANNEL AUDIO ONLY AND BUY AN INEXPENSIVE HT  SYSTEM FOR MOVIES BECAUSE THESE SPEAKERS ARE SO GOOD AND BUILD A 2 CHANNEL SYSTEM AROUND THEM. ORIGINALLY I WENT THAT ROUTE AND NOW I AM PAYING FOR IT REMEMBER 2 CHANNEL AUDIO IS STABLE HT IS FOREVER CHANGING.
