I'd crossed the Focus off the list of any potential purchases when they crossed into five figures, especially when there are more less expensive options now, but I seem to be looking at them again despite that. Price-wise, the Signature SE is a bit more feasible, but due diligence and all that.

Definitely....phenomenal amps....latest generation (ICEedge) amps with bespoke power supplies and heat sinks. Love my i.V4 Ultra these past weeks! Never thought i would say this about a digital amp,...I cannot hear the difference between the 20K+ class A/B amps from Esoteric, Maker Audio and Edge, each 100lbs each and above and this amp! At half the weight and less than one half the price for 2ch, I get 4, and equal in sound, I think I am vastly ahead of the game!

Not to mention it's a fine looking amplifier too Mark. They did a great job on the design with those things.

If the Signatures were taller, it'd be easier to ignore the Focus. I do have the manuals for both, though. Maybe not a good idea, especially since I'm still paying off my turntable.

I saw Audio Classics had a pair of demo Focus SEs for sale. Fortunately, I don't need speakers right now. . .

Besides, the price went up. I just looked again.
