These seem a bit pricey $$$
I watched the video and was also shocked at the price tag for them. Based on his breakdown of their sound, I’ll stick with my Cornwall IV’s , or my Goldenear Triton 5’s. Steve is one of my favorite reviewers out there. I rarely miss one of his vids.

I was I looking at the Focals and also the Double Impacts for my next set of speakers and I ended up buying Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. They are not fatiguing to me at all and sound great at low volumes. It feels like the musicians are playing right in...

Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment
I have one of those “inferior” 80 series Pioneer Receivers, a SX-1080. It sounds pretty damn good to me. every Pioneer fan I know does prefer the sound of the 50 series though. I have not heard one myself. I also know that 80 series Receivers do h...
