Focal Utopia monitors: Diablo vs. Micro Be
Hi guys,Sorry for the late reply.I have decided not to buy the Diablos for two reasons. First, I was not able to do a direct comparison as the seller was living quite far from me (200 Km or so). As I have mentioned in the beginning of this post I ...

Accuphase or Musical fidelity for Focal Micro Be
I have decided to buy the Accuphase E-550 & DP-500 combo after 2 - 3 days of rather long auditions, i.e. 5 - 6 hours per day. All electronics were compared in the same room using my Focal Micro Utopia Be speakers. I have also used a pair of Wi... 
Accuphase e-450 or E-560?
I have spent almost a weak demoing E-550 vs. E-450. The speakers were Focal Utopia Micro Be and Wilson Sophia 2. In the end I went for E-550 as I have found it more musical and fluid. However, the difference is not night vs. day. On the other hand...

Dali Helicon 300 + Rel Stadium 3 or Euphonia MS 4?
Hi everyone,Thank for sharing your opinions.As you probably imagine, deciding between the MS4, Stadium 3 and Stentor 3 kept me very busy this last 2 weeks. Eventually, I went for the Stentor 3. I got a very good deal from a dealer in Amsterdam. I'...
