focus audio 788's


I am awaiting the arrival of a pair of these speakers ordered on the strength of research/ postings on Audiogon. I would appreciate some feedback of this model in particular, as most of the posts are about the 688's. I would love to hear from some current or past owners of 788's if possible. Thanks.

It should have all the attributes of the 688's and more. They use the same tweeter and crossover. 688 uses a 5.5" Eton midbass the 788 a 7" Eton model.

Top end is suppose to be the same with more shadings and variations in the midrange and deeper bass. So the more is better midrange and deeper bass.

I think all the posts on the 688's would apply to the 788's as well. Sweet, smooth and entended highs with no grain or harshness along with a full tube like midrange.

Your in for a real treat. I've owned the 688's going on 15 months and I haven't heard anything I'd rather own.

Hopefully Phil will address this question as he is a FA dealer and I'm sure can give you greater insight.

There is a owner review of the 788 over at the Asylum.
