A few weeks ago I sold my Usher BE 718s and replaced them with Focal JM Labs BE Micro Utopias
forcing me to mess around with speaker placement. I was perfectly happy with the Ushers, but the temptation was too great so I took the plunge. I dont know exactly what db level I was playing the Ushers at, but I always set the volume level at the same mark. When I played the Focals at the same mark, the sound was uncomfortable. That confused me because the Ushers are more efficient than the Focals.
I finally figured out that I must have been playing the Ushers at a db level that gave me the fidelity I was happy with. At the same time, I realized that the Focals would give me the fidelity I was looking for but at a lower db level... and that has made my wife very happy.
