Focal Spectral 40th

Did anyone else read the review in Absolute Sound?  Seemed like the textbook definition of damning with faint praise.  I especially liked the list of other speakers (very different among themselves) that the reviewer evidently thought were all better: PSB, Golden Ear, Salk, Magico, etc.

Was it the electronic or print version of The Absolute Sound?  If it’s electronic please post the link as I looked and couldn’t find it.

Thanks

Print, I'm afraid.

That’s a whole lot of “equalizing” going on in that review. Sounds like he has other problems to fix somewhere in the room, system, or both.......

Looks like they had a bunch of Electra cabinets leftover and needed to figure out what to do with them.;-) 

Seems like a lot of money when you can get a pair of 1038be II brand new for 7k.
