Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria That's what I noticed with the Sopra 3's. It's as if the Beryllium tweeter and the diamond tweeter are both 'hyper tweeters'. Crystal clear but fatiguing. After having the Focal 936's in my house for a couple of weeks (non Beryllium tweeter) i n... | |
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria my bryston bp-26 preamp is supposed to be neutral sounding. also, I don't have class D amplifiers, I have a pair of Classe CAM-200 monoblocks | |
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria let me ask... how would you describe the B&W sound? How would , in your words, describe the sound of the 802D (1st gen) diamonds. I'm still learning on putting words to define some of the sounds | |
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria classe cam-200 monoblocks, bryston bp26 preamp, mark levinson 5101 cd player, speaker fidled with many times, 4 feet from front wall, 5 feet from side walls. Exactly what i was thinking, at what point does Focal begin to make revealing/hish resol... | |
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria I have auditioned both the 802D3 and recently the D4. Honestly, the 802D3 I felt was the worst of the series. I felt like I was listening to each of the drivers separately and not as on speaker. The D4 seem to have fixed that issue, but it does se... | |
KEF Blade 2 Can anyone comment on the Blad 2 vs the Focal Sopra 3's? | |
how would you describe a system that is musical in nature I think i'm beginning to understand. Years ago i had a pair of those huge Polk SDA SRS 1.2tl speakers. I do remember listening to live concerts and being so absorbed by the music that nothing else was happening around me. As i attempted to improve... | |
What is wrong with my system? Update, I’ve removed the Audioquest Water interconnects from my cd player to my preamp. I still have the Water interconnects between the preamp and the monoblocks.I replaced the interconnects from the cd player to the preamp with a pair of Audio... | |
What is wrong with my system? i really do want to try a tube preamp, i can't find a store that will lend me one to audition at home | |
What is wrong with my system? i wish i could find a store that would let me audition a tube preamp at home. | |
What is wrong with my system? i would love to try a tube preamp. Stores will not let me audition them at home. | |
What is wrong with my system? NewI found something interesting. I have two cd players connected to my system now, the ML 5101 and an older Arcam cd72.The Arcam cd72 has a fuller bass, warmer midrange sound to it. The negative is that there is not as much musical separation.T... | |
Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects UPDATE… so this is what I’ve found thus far. I’ve gone back and forth on now 3 filters and can reproduce the same conclusions.HYBRID FAST MINIMUM PHASEI’ve found this filter to be very resolving especially on vocals. Allows any sibilance to be m... | |
Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects I've heard that my 802d's are a bright speaker. I auditioned a pair of Focal Sopra 3's and thought they were equally as bright.Any suggestions for a neutral speaker that are as full range as these other two and capable of filling a room with sound? |
