Terryakhan, interesting experience with Spectron and Focal speakers. My experience was different. Really tried to like the Spectron with my Focal 1027be speakers and it just didnt click. Even the dealer was mystified and blamed the speakers as having a loose and woolly bass. There was just no synergy with my system (pre's used were a Cary SLP03 and a Herron). I moved on with some regrets (I passed up a good deal on the Spectron).
