Why so little none impressions on Focal Maestro?

dev, vtl 7.5 mk2.you will have to listen for yourself and decide if this speaker is for you or not.

in munich the scalas were with devialet-d integrated. very nice sound!i also prefer vtl( i use 4 x sigfrieds).
nice sound also from new kharma(no accuton!) ,kef,burmester, vivid/bmc.

i think the focal marketing in europe and america is very polite, not so aggressive.many audiophiles like"exotic","snobbish" brands like tidal, marten,raidho, kaiser.the new focal speakers are much better then before,more musical more presence and more transaprent. very high technology with muiscal tastes.
but some peoeple want "status" speakers not real speakers.

elviukai, i owned 3 pairs of the g.u, and presently own the g.u em in silver finish. i also visited the factory in france 2 years ago. this trip made me admire this company more and more.
what focal achieved with the new em line is really remarkable. the technology and design are world-class.
for example, the new stellaem won the grand prix 2010 award in japan!before, the g.uem won it.maybe the maestro is next? but many audiophiles don't think focal is high-end, only entry level, cheap speakers.
if focla make the marketing more 'highend', it will be better for audiophiles to know what these speakers can do!

himiguel, nice system!
yes, the focals need many hours of breakin ,500?most speakers are sensitive to room accoustics,placements and so on.please tell us about the pretty wood boxes you have on the floor.

dev, i also use dcs scartti, but changed now to emm xds1. better, i think. cables-vdh and echole mix.sold my tt 2 monthes ago.my room is 12mlong,7 mwide, and almost 4mhigh.
sorry for your friends losing money. h/e audio not for making money, but for making music sound good.only the dealers make money. the em line, from what iknow, is totally different (better) then the be line.to me it sounds much better ,more musical, more real and accurate.
they have now more models to fit in different rooms.try it!
