The new Focal.JMlab Electra line looks awesome, I guess Focal is finally getting serious about going after B&W 800-series buyers. I believe they are schedule for a Fall intro. in the US. Does anyone have any addt'l info. on these speakers (1027 BE & 1037 BE)?
Thanks for the info. My dealer's website words it as if the Profiles are replacing the Electras. Thank god that's not true, I think the Profiles are ugly. Those Electras do look very promising, but I've yet to hear or see them...thanks for the lookout.
It looks like they're scheduled for a worldwide release in September (next month). It might take a couple of months before US Dealers take delivery. This is why the old Electra line including Be models are being deeply discounted. The 1007Be (stand-mount) and 1027Be (floor-stander) will be the first 2 models released, with the larger 1037Be to soon follow. These 3-models will complete the new Electra line. see link: http://www.heimkinomarkt.de/Messen/Messeberichte/Artikel.asp?artikel_ID=70
Here's another link. This new line seems much more living-room friendly than the outgoing Eletra line (and current Utopia excluding Diva). Outside of sonics, it's the small foot-print/easy-placement and nice-asthetics of the B&W 805, 804, 803 and 803D that make them such big-sellers.
