Focal Stella

Thank you everyone!  I really appreciate all the input.  I am going to not pursue this.  This forum is a great place. 

It will cost a fortune to ship the speakers from Europe to the States. You have to also figure in insurance. How much would it cost you to fly to Europe to demo the said speakers first?  Don’t know if that is even feasible. 

Yes, this smells fizzy.

it sounds fisy and risky

I would be supprised that Focal supports ( warranty ) an oversea dealer , while there are plently of Focal dealers in your country .

Dont forget import taxes , border taxes , shipping insurance  , shipping , and the stress of all this .

Good advice about contacting Focal about the dealer, Thank you

I am also looking at the Active RBH STVR for 45K installed.  I wanted to consider a direct to consumer seller as well and RBH seems like the best.  Never heard these either and there aren't many reviews out there other than Gene Delasala who absolutely praises these. 

The other issue is these speakers are overseas and I would have not much recourse if something goes wrong the dealer being so far away. 

No the list for the Stella is 150K  270K for the Utopia and 75K for the Maestro.  I found a dealer that would sell a new pair Stella for 120K.  These are all the new EVO models I am being told.

@winoguy17 

Good advice.

Charles

isn't thr list 75k that is not a great deal for a demo set

and are they the current evo model?
