Focals latest - Cat Houses?


I’m sorry but all I can think of when I look at these is they look like $70,000 cat houses.

@ghdprentice + 1 - Totally agree about having fun with nationalistic stereotypes (as long as all participants are on board with it and not immediately offended); I remember Graham Parker's band The Rumour put out an album called 'Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs, and Krauts' in that same spirit, as it had a Euro theme. And of course the first stereotype I'd have fun with is my own.... . 

@erik_squires 

Double check the models.  The one with 6.5" woofers is $40k.  The larger one with 8" woofers is $70k, but I would not be surprised to find deep discounts.

Sorry... I meant to say the model down (the $40K - Diva Utopia) from the one in this tread ($70K - Diva Mezza Utopia).

Either way, they both do look like a big butane lighter.  Maybe they should market them as "so good, they will set your listening room on fire!" 

....think I'll wait for the mobile version that with the help of room eq, the units will find the proper space, alignments, and settings for perfect reproduction.
And trash all the other items in the room to achieve that goal.

Remember:
Don't forget to carry your dongle that informs the system that you are in the space to listen to it.  Otherwise you might find yourself in the garage or the trash...

Focal is missing an opportunity here.  

We all remember the WATT/Puppy?

Litter Box sub to go with these?

Or, at the very least an accessory to dispose of fur balls?

@ghdprentice  - In that spirit I’ll share a joke I heard in Switzerland while studying abroad, ages ago.

 

Q:  How many Frenchmen does it take to defend the borders of France?

 

A:  No one knows, it’s never been successfully defended!
