| Why so many used focals? "I suppose we have to consider how poor they can sound improperly set up. On rock recordings drums sounded live with excellent pitch definition and speed, but I thought I could hear the woofers working It was all very exciting and made me want the... | |
| Paradigm Premier. Thoughts Definitely not. The smaller floor stander Premier is $1,600 for the pair. I think you misread my post. | |
| Paradigm Premier. Thoughts Outstanding. Have you heard them? Keep in mind the smaller floor stander is like $1500 -- so, over your budget. If you meant the bookshelf speakers, I’d try your hardest to spend a little more and get the small floor standers vs the big bookshelfs. | |
| Isolation for Focal Aria 936 FYI Aperta 200's fit perfectly under the 936 if you take the bottom base off. Provides a completely different look however. I'm not a huge fan of how the Gaia's look on the Arias under the base, so it's a toss up. You can also screw Gaia III's ... | |
| Isolation for Focal Aria 936 What is the goal? | |
| Why so many used focals? Kanta is a far superior speaker to the Electras. Better on good recordings, and much better on bad recordings. | |
| CORNER placement subwoofer(s) Or just buy a JL Fathom (overpriced), or a Paradigm defiance X series sub and get maybe the best bass correction available. Far more sophisticated that way. | |
| Why so many used focals? I agree, even though I’m extremely disappointed with the simple refresh of the utopia line. I was really hoping they’d have an all new design and sound.However... the Sopra 3 in blue. Or red. Or Orange. Or chameleon.... I can go on and on.The Kant... | |
| Why so many used focals? Inaccurate information, as always with focal discussion.They stopped selling their drivers long ago. | |
| Why so many used focals? It’s simply because Focal sells a LOT of speakers. Also, many of the Focal owners I know end up upgrading to higher end Focals. They are a worldwide brand that is even more popular outside of America (from what I know).Just as you will find dram... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2 What do you mean by “difference in bass response?” | |
| Technics vs. Focal That is a silly, undefensible, and arbitrary statement, proclamation and accusation the greatest and most influential component in any music reproduction system is the room itself and for you to deny, reject, or ignore this simple, absolute, estab... | |
| Technics vs. Focal @stereo5 unfortunately I can guarantee you that audiotroy hasn't actually had any hands on time with the Aria series. If he says he has, he would be lying. It's all too obvious based on his previous posts. So for him to say they have a hot top ... | |
| Technics vs. Focal Anyone who says focal is a bright speaker, "hot top end," etc I just can't take seriously. Pure ignorance. | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? Arned, they will not. I absolutely promise you that they will sound the same after 2,000 hours as they do now, unless you move them.Did you buy them without hearing them? The midrange is extremely shouty in a lot of cases. It doesn’t go away. ... |
