Focus Audio Classic

Maxxc,

I have a .pdf copy of the original article (where the Focus FS688 is listed as #3), but it is in Chinese and I don't have the rights to post it on the web.

I also have an english translation of YK Chan's followup review of the FS688 where he says that after spending more time with it, the FS688 should have been #1 on the list. You can find that one here:

Here's the actual list (without discussion of why each was picked):

1 - Focus Audio FS688
2 - B&W Signature 805
3 - TAD TSM-300
4 - JMLabs Micro Utopia
5 - Goldmund Epilogue One
6 - ProAc Reference 8 Signature
7 - KEF LS3/5A
8 - Krell Lat-2
9 - Sonus Faber Guarneri
10 - Wilson WATT

Thanks Phil, So no actual discussion of why they were picked? That was actually what I was interested in: the why?

Best Wishes Maxx

Maxxc,

There is discussion in the article as to why they were picked, but the article is written in Chinese, and I haven't gotten a formal English translation. Am still working on finding a translator (my wife, who is Chinese, tried, but there were too many audiophile terms that she didn't know how to translate to English). :-(

Phil

Thanks Phil. If you get it translated would love to get a copy.

Hi Guys,
So there are some poeple that have hear the incredible sound of the f688 out there. i have owned b&w 805 sigs, green mountain europas, dynaudio 1.3se and many more monitors...the f688 were ahead by leaps and bounds

I had all these speaker hooked up to sim audio gear and the result with the f688 took my breath away. I had to sell them because of money problems,
everyone regrets selling an audio item at some point in their life, selling the f688 was by far the biggest regret in audio. I will be getting anothe rpair in the near future
