| Should the best systems sound almost identical? The idea that we all have different hearing doesn't make sense in this context because if I spoke to you multiple times it would sound the same to you each and every time.

| Should the best systems sound almost identical? Mapman - I had one listening experience with the Focal Grande Utopia's when I was purchasing my 836v's where my friend and I both agreed that when making the switch from the 836v speakers to the Grande's we preferred the 836v.

| Gabor Boldoczki - Italian Concertos CD I loaned this CD to a coworker, that's into music, yesterday after he enjoyed it on his headphones at work. This morning he came by my desk to rave about his listening experience. Normally, he puts music on and then goes about whatever he's doing ... | |

| Help Identifying a Song - Accordian/Guitar If I every get some free time (it's very limited with a 5 week old in the house) I'm going to try and get some of the songs posted on YouTube. | |

| Focal Chorus 700 I didn't realize that the B&W 804D was a $7,500 speaker so I can't say that I've ever heard a similarly priced Focal speaker. My local dealer only has the Chorus and Utopia lines in the store. I saw an Electra floorstander in the store once, b... | |
