Warm romantic & detailed
Good morning Gentlemen & ladies...
I'm just starting to toy with idea of replacing my Focal 1038's... No matter how I treat my room, or what equipment I throw at it I just can't seem to tame the harsh highs on this speaker.
I'd like to stay in the same price range of the Electra's (7/8k), I don't mind buying used, the musts for me at this point are: Warm, romantic, yet detailed... It would be beautiful to just sit and listen and not have ear fatigue after 15 minutes of listening.
Can you please recommend something?

Have you rolled the tubes in the preamp yet? Mac uses JJs which sound great until you hear better tubes. JJs can be harsh and grainy. For line only testing, try a new Gold Lion 12AX7 in position 5 and one of these in position 6. Also make sure position 6 has an at7 not an ax7 in place. I read a report of a factory error. |
