| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help All these tips have been very helpful. I have gone from toe-in crossing at my nose (45 degrees) to just about a 10 degree toe-in. It has improved the imaging. As mentioned, I am getting a center image, I am just not getting the uncanny "point in s... | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Hello Paul,Thank you for your detailed comments. I have read your thread comparing the C1 MKI/II to the BEs and found it to be very informative regarding the nature of the BE tweeter. I think you really nailed it when you mentioned that the BE twe... | |
| Help finding my way with amps... I went for the SLI-80 Signature. I am in love. | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Yes, I have checked the ohm setting. Also I have tried other amps. I think it is just getting used to the speakers. The Focals have a presence and balance that no other speakers I have have. I think I might just be looking for attributes of other ... | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Thanks for all the phase tips. They are indeed wired correctly. The center image is a real center image, it just does not have that "point in space" definition. It might be the nature of the speakers. I have them toed in so that they cross just at... | |
| New Amp for Maggie MMG's I had amazing enjoyment with the Behringer EP4000. They are around $400 but you are paying for braun, not beauty. I demoed it against the Emotiva XPA2, Arcam AVR600, Exposure 2010S2, Outlaw RR2150 and Cary SLI-80 all of which did not have the raw ... | |
| Is NAD C372 Integrated good match w/ Maggie1.7's? I run my 1.6s with a Behringer EP4000 with great results. Maggies need a workhorse to sound their best. | |

| Help finding my way with amps... Well, I am married but this hobby is far cheaper than buying expensive cars / drinking top shelf spirits / dining in fine restaurants - all of which we don't do by choice. @Atmasphere- that article is currently beyond my pay grade but I will try t... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Any news? | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? What draws me towards a simple solution is that I have limited space. I have found myself in the past with up to four amps, five sets of speakers and all the other components that are "integrated" into a one box receiver. If I end up getting an Ar... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range I ended up getting a set of Focal Utopia Micro BE. They are very nice. They are different anything I have heard. Soundstage beyond the speakers in all directions, cartoony image. I've had them for about a week so it is still very early. | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? Yes, from this thread, I began to investigate the AVR600. It does look to be an good unit for music. While there have been many complaints about pops and clicks regarding the video section, there are a lot of good reviews about the musical ability... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range Thank you for all the great responses. This thread has opened up my possibilities greatly. What I find odd is that the Dynaudio C1 seems to be looked upon as the unspoken forerunner. I have not heard it so I can't comment but there is quite a bit ... |
