| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range Jeffkad,Yes it was the new 802D. The 802 went a little deeper however the bass in the focal was tighter. The mids and highs we thought the focal was cleaner, crisper.They are both great speakers however to our ears the focal simply sounded better.... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range I recently auditioned both speakers specifically against each other. The Focal 1038 be was $12500 and the 802D $15000. The Focal to my and my friends ear was the superior speaker. I really could not believe it so I went back another day and listen... | |

| Hissing sound coming from tweeters It could be your system is not grounded properly. Our cable company, comcast was doing work and and did not properly ground the system. I was having hissing through the tweeters also. To pinpoint I disconnected the cable into the preamp and the hi... | |
| Considering Sonus Faber Liuto, Revel F52, JM labs The Cremora M was on a higher level, not even close. I am not great in audiophile terminology however I would call it much fuller & detailed. I auditioned them 4x prior to purchasing bringing my wife and friend on different occasions and we al... | |
| Considering Sonus Faber Liuto, Revel F52, JM labs I just purchased speakers and auditioned many including the Liuto, Electra 1028 be, PSB Stratus Gold and the S8. If the budget allows... I preferred the JM LAbs Electra 1038 be and Sonus Faber Cremora M. I went for The Sonus Faber and I am happy w... | |
| Are Cables Better Than High Grade Speaker Wire? What I am really asking is I can purchase high grade speaker wire pretty inexpensively. Say $50, if I choose to put spades or banana plugs on the price will go up but still pretty inexpensive. I see cheap cables for $100's and the prices rise dram... | |

| Preference - Sonus Faber, Dynaudio or Focal I am currently using an Emotiva XPA5 - 200 x 5. I may upgrade. I would keep the current amp for the center and rears and get a 2 x 250 - 2 channel or mono blocks for the mains. I would probably again get the Emotiva unless I saw a good deal on use... | |
| Preference - Sonus Faber, Dynaudio or Focal Thanks for your feedback. I am leaning towards the Sonus Faber. I could live with any of them however I can get the Sonus for $2000 less than the Dyno's and they are brand new. The Dyno's were demo's. The Focal's came in at an additional $3000. Th... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 You might want to check The New Focal Electra 1038 BE. I auditioned them twice last last week along with the B & W 802D. To my ear the Focal was superior. The B & W did have some more in the low end however the Focal I thought handled the ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Put off by window shopping.... are you serious? They put in a cd, give me a remote and walk away. Such is business.... if their prices are reasonable I will buy. How do you select gear? Do you send someone thousands of $$$ without listening? | |
| Speaker Upgrade I am heading to Overtures and Hi Fi House this evening.Soundex is appointment only and it has been tough nailing down a time.Thanks | |
| Speaker Upgrade Shows are a great thought. I am in the Philadelphia Area and I am not aware of shows in our region.Regarding wasting the dealers time if they gave me a great deal I would buy. I also in the past have purchased many pieces of equipment from local d... | |
| Speaker Upgrade I do feel bad going to stores to audition speakers however I can't think of any other way to listen to that variety of speakers. Any suggestions?The place that handles the Vandersteen's I think are discontinuing the line. They pushed us away from ... |
