Sources for Focal 1038Be II

DJMitchells assertion ("Per Focal, there is no difference between 1038 Be and 1038 Be II. They are the same.") was correct, as all 1038s have the same tweeter and there is no such thing as a 1038 Be-1.

They may seem a bit bright at first, but after break in, the drivers settle in quite well.  I’m tempted to replace the Revel F208s in my bedroom with another set of 1038BE.

do you find f208s lacking something compared with those focals?

The Focal 1038BE have a bigger, fuller, richer, transparent sound, and can hold its own over speakers costing much more.  Having said that, the F208s are no slouch, and surprisingly sounds very good, with really good instrument separation and base delineation.  It definitely punches above its price point.  In my experience, you would be hard pressed to find a better sounding full range speaker for less than $5k.   

Wait: is there really a Focal 1038Be 2? how is that different from a Focal 1038Be?
