| Legacy Focus 20/20 Speakers AMP/Pre Amp @dsrobert Yes, I use the Wavelet II as an external crossover and for the Room correction, it does an amazing job for that. Yes, I use a VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signature amp on top. I am saving for an Aric Audio amp to replace it. My VAC amp is get... | |
| Legacy Focus 20/20 Speakers AMP/Pre Amp @soix I didn't dig that deep into that aspect, I am just going off of my personal experience with the Focus XD's. Prima Luna makes a Tube hybrid integrated that is well within his budget that may work better. Primaluna EVO 300 Hybrid will have t... | |
| What is going on here? Streamer or DAC? FWIW I had skipping, lags when I had a Cambridge CXN V2 into my Venus II DAC. When I switched to the Aurender N200 which cache's into internal memory that problem disappeared. | |
| Legacy Focus 20/20 Speakers AMP/Pre Amp I can attest to the Legacy's loving tubed amplification. Those 20/20 are 96 Db sensitive and can mate with tubed amps @ 20wpc easy. I have the new Focus XD's with the Wavelet. A nice tubed integrated with them would be fantastic. An option woul... | |

| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows You can buy a brand new pair of Goldenear Trition 1.r for $4500 right now. They were $8000. Discontinued. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 You have a way with words. 😂 | |
| Help with speaker selection I re read your OP. @hk_fan I also researched your implied speakers, and I agree with @mikekollar You should research the Legacy Audio Speaker line. Your JC1’s will drive them just fine, Suggest you consider the Focus XD with Wavelett II or if yo... |
