Hi, within its category, I can say that the PM8006 is a very good integrated amplifier, it has great definition, excellent speaker control, very pleasant tone capabilities, plenty of power for small rooms and works very well with FOCAL, since these speakers are very friendly and easy to tame, however I’m aware that it does not allow the FOCAL to deliver its full potential, these speakers deserve a more sophisticated amplification
@@amritsarboy1 Based on the specifications of the GX300, it seems to be a much more demanding speaker than the Electra 1027, I would seriously think about a more robust amplifier, if you like MARANTZ, in your case I would think about the Model 30, I think the PM8006 will suffer and it may not provide everything that your MA can deliver... FOCAL ELECTRA 1027 - Recommended Amplifier Requirements - 40/300w - 94 db sensitive M.A. GX300 - Recommended Amplifier Requirements - 100/200 W - 90db sensitive
@@amritsarboy1 yes, but the GX300 requires more current and control, so I believe that the PM8006 is not competent enough, see the specifications: PM8006 - 70W at 8 Ohms - 100W at 4 Ohms Model 30 - 100W at 8 Ohms - 200W at 4 Ohms
Can PM8006 drive them effortlessly ? Or need more power ?

@@audiojunior174 I have Monitor Audio GX 300. I am considering this amp. I have a small to medium room. That is why I asked.

@@audiojunior174 I don't know why company put that numbers on spec sheet regarding amp watts requirement. It is 90db sensitive with 8 ohms load.
