I heard the Focal 1008Be paired with a Rogue Chronus Magnum at Stereotypes AV here in Portland - I'd spent a wonderful afternoon auditioning ARC Ref75 SE and Devialet D200 with Sopra No2's and Utopia Scala's and happened to spot this setup in their downstairs room. I was more than impressed. After hours listening to a high end system this rig blew me away, managing to capture 90% of the big system. Tone, dynamics, PRAT, and sheer musicality. Suffice to say, it's on the shopping list for my second system. Analysis Plus Oval Nine cables. It's one of very few systems I'd recommend without an audition - it's that good. The source was SimAudio's loweest level DAC and MIND.
