| Focal 1008 be vs KEF LS50 vs KEF R300/500/700 vs MA Gold 200 Hegel H360 is connected now. Been listening to it for last 4 hours. Going trough some Pink Floyd albums now. I threw many genres to it. So far only genre that doesn't sound so nice is Metal. Metal feels blurry sounding instead of sharp.Hegel H360 ... | |
| Focal 1008 be vs KEF LS50 vs KEF R300/500/700 vs MA Gold 200 I am definitely keeping the Focal 1008Be's. Initially had them connected to NAD c326's power amp which was fed by AVR's pre outs. Did sound ok with Audyssey, sounded so thin and lifeless without. Yesterday connected to NAD to a DAC directly, and... | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... I am loving the "Loud Hailer" by Jeff Beck here as well. It is very in your face, very forward sounding album. I especially love "Right Now", it has everything you want for testing a speakers for dynamics and sound control capabilities in my opini... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? Alright, comparing the state when it first arrived yesterday, and this morning:https://i.imgur.com/D42FuIi.jpg(left is yesterday, right is today)I would say that it is a major change. Quite happy with the purchase so far :D | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? Thank you all very much for your help !!I believe that speaker already fixed itself mostly. This is how it looks now under sunlight, it is becoming harder for me to see it even when looking at it with a flashlight. Under normal use, from distance,... | |
| Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be Just connected the speakers. They look amazing, but sound wise they don't sound that good without room correction of the AVR, too laid back. It might the amp as well, or the DAC/preamp section of the AVR, or the cables (QED silver anniversary XT).... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? Finally connected speakers to the amp. First of all, they look gorgeous. And i feel like more I am using, more that woofer dent is disappearing. It is much harder to see right now, might be the lighting as well though. It might also be the sound p... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? @shadorne I guess so.. I mean that part of rubber still has the same consistency as other parts. I assume that some sunlight was the cause. Contacted the seller (I purchased it trough a hifi dealer not the original owner), waiting for a reply.@odd... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? @johnto I could loosen it and see. Fully capable of all sorts of DIY fixes :D But what do you mean by resetting the gasket ? I assume it came to be how it is now because of something wet touching it, or some heat somehow. Maybe sunlight hitting on... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? By the way, one thing that might not be so clear in my first post is that. I was aware of the holes before purchasing. If holes don't penetrate trough the cabinet, it can easily be fixed in my opinion. With their price, it made sense to me. Howeve... | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? @helomech I bought them online. Seller disclosed the holes. However, didn't mention anything of the woofer rubber deformation. I want to know how such a damage can happen without any exposure to heat, high pressure or water.I will be returning the... | |
| Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be Thank you all so very much for all the suggestions ! :DI am heavily leaning towards Hegel products right now, alternatively Marantz PM14S1. Read some good things about that two in combination with Focal speakers.I use an ikea besta cabinet to keep... | |
| Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be @akg_ca Rega OSIRIS looks beautiful to me! However, that might be a little bit too much in terms of price. I would prefer spending less for amp and more for speakers overall. OSIRIS is more expensive than my speakers (OSIRIS is 11k USD here in P... |
