New Focal.JMlab Electra speakers

The Profile actually replaces the Cobalts and not the Electras. The new Electra line definately has my interest.

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:

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.

I have a pair of the old Eletras 926 and I'm considering a upgrade. I like the quad 988 for their price. I don't see many of them in the vitural systems. What are your opions. Should I wait till I could afford a pair of wilson sophias or mabye a monitor from the new Eletra line with new electonics. The rest of my system consist of ps audio PCA-2/HCA-2, benchmark DAC, music hall mmf-5, creek phono stage and cardas and ps audio cables.
