Excellent and timely discussion for me as I am looking to move from my Maggies 3.6. I listened to the No 2 yesterday but it was a poor showing within 60 seconds. It was just muffled with a small sound. To be fair it was with lesser electronics/turntable as I had just listened to Wilsons/Clearaudio Innovation. The dealer warned me but I pushed on. My challenge is I have tube mono blocks and Wilsons are not consistent with them as I have been advised. I wanted to hear the Focal based on the recommendation they paired well with tube amps. I will give them another listen under proper conditions/equipment but my bias will be Sopra 3 or better. Thanks for letting me chime in.
