| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response The 936 is a much more musical speaker than the KEF. I highly recommend listening to a pair. The R500 isn’t a bad speaker at all, just a little less open holographic and musical. I’d also check out a Peachtree Nova 300 to power the 936. Excell... | |
| Lars Kristensen and Michael Børresen leaving Raidho ... Lars is hands down the best speaker demo person (host? It’s early and I haven’t had coffee yet) in the industry. Raidho rooms at audio shows will never be the same. In fact, Lars is part of the reason I have such respect for Raidho speakers. Such... | |
| Has anyone heard the Focal 1028BE ? I’d go 1038 honestly. They’re both amazing, but the height advantage of the 38 alone is big. | |
| Focal Utopia Scala V2 or Persona (9H/7F) First off, absolutely wait for the Scala Utopia Evo. Buying the v2 would be a mistake. The Evo is a huge improvement to an already incredible speaker.Moving on to the Personas. WTF? No , literally.How are they this good? I don’t know – but th... | |
| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday I’m not a big headphone guy at all. The hifi man, and audeze headphones have always sounded nice to me, but the Focal Elear and Utopia are just magical. I’m so tempted to buy a pair of the Utopia’s... never thought I’d say that, as even a $300 ... | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 You’re comparing two COMPLETELY different products at those price points. One a gen 2, one a gen 3, plus inflation. Plus the fact that they’re now made in the USA, plus the fact that they’re... you know... completely different.Any other solid poin... | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 Please explain how they changed their approach to offer the same stuff for the same price but adding a gigantic margin for dealers off the top. Oh, and the fact that they now advertise all over the place. Explain it. | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 213runnin: amazingly, you still don’t get what I’m saying.Can you prove to me somehow that Ascend is passing on the savings of not going through a dealer network, not dealing with advertising cost, etc? The internet direct brands want you to have ... | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 Again you’re assuming they’re taking the “let’s prices low and just sell more” approach. I’m sure they are in some sense, but not the the extent that you think.Also, Focal speakers are hand made in France and they make all their own drivers. Th... | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 213runnin: Assuming that Ascend is doing a charity by not just taking the extra money they would be giving to dealers is so short sighted. Just because they are manufacturer direct means NOTHING. If you were in their shoes, would you throw away... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height In all seriousness, don’t forget to factor the height of the listening chair you’re using. The Sopra 3 will of course offer a higher image too. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I really wish Tekton would start selling in stores. :( | |
| High Quality bi-amp-able full range speakers - choices? I would absolutely be looking at the Paradigm Persona 5F or 7F (if you can stretch a little and get the dealer to do a generous discount).Absolutely unreal speakers. | |
| I ordered Focal Aria 936 Enjoy! Unbelievably good speakers.Let us know how you like them! | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line My point was, that the matching Sopra bookshelf to the Sonus Faber is only $8,000. You're comparing a lower end Focal to a higher end Sonus Faber. |
