Focal Electra 1028 BE

Thanks @eri Do I need the outriggers as I'll be using them on carpet with spikes? I used the spikes on my Aria's and haven't had an issue (no kids or tipping issues)

Do I need the outriggers

Depends on how comfortable you are of them falling. :)  It's not the carpet or spikes, it's the very narrow footprint.

I promise you, once you get them, you'll see what I mean just by tipping them from the side.  You'll jump on them.  So feel free to wait and try this out.  I take no responsibility for scratches.

Best,

I have the 1028BE and very happy with them.  Several years ago I had my eyes set on a pair of Paradigm Signature S6v3. I was offered a great price on a demo pair which were next to a set of the 1028BE in the showroom. I remember wanting the 1028BE instead of the Paradigms because they sounded so much better but could not afford them at the time. So I settled on the S6v3.  When I got a chance to purchased a pair of 1028BE at discounted price when they were discontinued, I jumped on them.  Never looked back. 

So I've had the 1028 for a few days now and they are stellar speakers. Going from the Aria to these is a massive jump in detail and separation. I really enjoy the height of the tweet. Very pleased with the 1028 over the Aria. For now I'm satisfied. We'll see over the next few years if I get the itch again. 

Hi OP!

So glad you are happy.

What do you think of the physical stability of your speakers?  Are they likely to tip over easily to the sides?

Best,
