| Focus Audio Classic Right SS amp with tube pre. I noticed looking at the FS website they seem to have used SS amps at shows. The Ayre and PS Audio being the most common.I never seen any pictures from shows where they were driver by tubes.However Tony does use the Hur... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Great stuff! The I5 is suppose to be exceptional. Did you see the Review of the I5 limited edition in UHF magazine? I think they are only making 250 units. I know UHF was absolutely in love with this amp. They are going to be using it to replace o... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Thats what I kind of figured but wasn't sure. Yes I have heard the 688's at Tonys. Very large room 26 feet long almost as wide and with vaulted ceilings and opening up into other rooms. In otherwords a Supersize great room.Bass was real good but n... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Phil what is it you don't like about the VR's? Especially in comparison to Focus Audio?One more question. My room is 12x13 and the bass is quite acceptable. Wondering though if I am missing out on much by not having a subwoofer? I listen primarily... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Nick is asking about the new "Classic Series". A less expensive current offering from FA. The 68 you mentioned was the forerunner to 688 and was from the original Signature series.The Dealer is correct. The 9900 revelator (currently used in the 68... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Jungson JA-88D. Pure class A 80wpc integrated that sells for $1500. I got mine last May. Bound For Sound Magazine just released their review of the amp in the last few weeks.The verdict from Bound for sound was that it is the best audio electronic... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Sorry to hear that Jason. I had to sell my Jolida tube amp to buy the FS688's. So I hear what you are saying with money problems and having to sell beloved equipment.Best Wishes Maxx | |
| Focus Audio Classic Thanks Phil. If you get it translated would love to get a copy.Maxx | |
| Focus Audio Classic Thanks Phil, So no actual discussion of why they were picked? That was actually what I was interested in: the why?Best Wishes Maxx | |
| Focus Audio Classic Phil, if your still around :) I saw over at AA where you posted the list of the "top 10 bookshelves" from the Yk Audio magazine original article. I've never been able to find the article on line. looks like a interesting read.Do you have the web a... | |
| Focus Audio Classic Nick one more thing. Although Focus Audio dosen't have these listed at their website there are 3 professional reviews of the classic series.Go to eCoustics.com and type in focus audio and you will find 2 reviews of the 70's and 1 review of the 10's. | |
| Focus Audio Classic Hi Nick, I responded to your post over at AA. I guess very few have heard any FA speakers since, only Phil and me responded.Go back to AA and do a word search for the Focus Audio FC-70. There was a poster at AA who no longer posts since he has fin... | |
| Cayin TA-30 thoughts... I think you are probably right John. The Cayin sounds like a real good match with Klipsch which definitly sound best with tubes and don't need alot of power. | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? I think you may have answered your own question. "little" Naim. From the posts I've read and my brief audition of the CS1.6 the Thiel love and need their power to sound their best. | |
| Harbeth Compact 7ES vs Tyler Acoustics Taylo Refs? Your comments on the Taylor suprises me as well. Like Srama stated the tweeter and midbass are found in speakers costing over 20k and the crossover points are all top shelf.I remember a 1999 review of the Tyler being compared to the highly respect... |
