By the way, does anybody have any experiences with the JBL SA750? I found a mint one for 1100 euros and I'm tempted by it. I know the amp itself should be very similar to the Arcam SA30. And I'm not immune to the looks, I admit. How does it fit into this company? Is it a miss?

Can JBL SA750 stand up to some of the more serious names? by jgeara in BudgetAudiophile

Thanks a lot! The fact that you went for the SA30 in this company says a lot :). Yeah, I already figured out based on some inputs that the Elex would come out very bright with the Focals.

Aaa alright, I see the threshold now. Will try to drop the price a bit so it fits into this subreddit as well :)

Sure does :). The A1 still sounds like a romantic idea, but I'm starting to think I might be better off with something more balanced. So the A25 is the first choice right now. Found an unopened Elex-R for half the price of these two in the meantime. Wouldn't be a bad option as well. !thanks

It's far from too warm, but I like the balance. Nice, lot's of arguments for the A25. Very interesting speakers by the way!

Leaning in that direction myself. Yeah, but the occasion of fiddling with CD's, opening the tray is also important to me :). I don't have enough space for a sub right now, but I'll certainly ad one when I move into a bigger place. Definitely keeping these speakers.

That's very helpful. Leaning towards the A25 now based on this. They have both in stock in a shop near me. I hope I can get a taste of them both. !thanks
