Or.. that means a newer version of the Direct Stream is in the process and dealers are selling off stock.I hope not.ozzy 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
If you install Furutech NCF outlets you must remove the screw cover and grind down the plastic posts a little for them to fit inside the 1800 outlet openings.ozzy 
Shipping Speakers & Big,heavy items
I ended up paying $300 to have pallet/crates made for my 8 foot long Bob Carver Amazing Line Source speakers. The Music room then paid for Fed Ex to pick them up from my house. Strange though, it took a while for Fed Ex to arrange a truck with a l... 
Focal Sopra 2
caphill,I have never heard the Utopia line, but I would like to someday. They must be huge!From what I have read, Focal actually makes the speaker drivers in house and is one of the largest speaker manufacturers in the world. ozzy

Grannyring,Your right! I did mean to say Wago. Thanks.I have a friend who did solder all of the connections together. Wow! (5) 12 gauge wires in one bundle then 2 more bundles. But he was able to do it.How did you terminate the wires?ozzy 
Focal Sopra 2
At the Audio store I was only able to listen to the Sopra 3’s and they were awesome! I picked the High Gloss black since most of my equipment is either black or silver. But the Blue looked pretty nice!ozzy

Focal Sopra 2
twoleftears,I read that notice with the instructions for the speakers. I took it as though it is dangerous if the tweeter gets damaged. Which I hope will never happen.ozzy

93cobra, dmk_hifi, bar81,Thanks for that information. When you look at pictures of Focal’s higher end Utopia line they seem to be shown with no screen.To me, it does sound better sans screen.ozzy 
Carver Crimson 275 tube amp
I have never heard of the Kootenay but I own the Raven 350 and it has a vintage modern sound. The 275 should sound about the same way albeit with less power.ozzy 
Focal Sopra 2
I just removed the metal screen cover that is over the Sopra tweeter and found additional airiness along with a wider dispersion. So, those of you with these speakers remove those grills!ozzy

bander, yoby,I used Military spec 12 gauge silver/copper stranded wiring. I purchased around 100 feet in different colors a few years back off of eBay. I also used Furutech nano liquid on all the connections.And yes, all in all it was a huge upgra... 
Focal Sopra 2
I should add that my review is slanted to the type of genre and sound that I prefer. Many of the other speakers that I listened to did have their qualities and I didn’t mean to dismiss some of the very popular designs. I did want to hear the Legac...
