KEF 205 / 2 or Focal Electra 1037BE


Would be pairing speakers with McIntosh MC205 Amp and MX136 pre-amp. Any preferences? I'm coming from Watt Puppy 7's which were great

The KEF's are good speakers but I believe that the Focals are in the "best-of-class" category since you are essentially getting their Utopia product in a more affordable package. Their drivers are my favorite. If you are coming from W/P 7's, it will be a noticeable improvement top to bottom.
I'm in the market, trying to decide between KEF 207/2 and Wilson Sasha's. I have KEF 105/3, but time to put them to rest. I am very curious about your comment where you seem to favor the KEF over W/P 7. In your opinion the KEF had a better sound?
Wood930, what are you hoping to gain via making a speaker change? I once owned the W/P 7's with McIntosh and recently selling the Mac gear, I wish I had the Wilson's back to hear with my new amp.
