| Searching for "The Diamond Revolution" test CD by Usher Audio Thanks spatialking. | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal I have Qobuz Premier, Tidal Hifi and Amazon HD.My primary system has a Parasound A21 amp feeding Focal Electra 1038Be (reasonably revealing speakers).I have done many hours of quality comparisons. In my room, on my system, here are the rankings:Am... | |
| Best speakers 5k 10 k In addition to the above, I'd recommend a used pair Focal 1038Be. I auditioned many in under the $10k range recently and liked them the best (better than Kanta 2 or 3 as well). Liked them more than the Revel F228Be. Look good too.I'd also recomme... | |
| Focal Electra 1038be owners, Question to 1038Be owners: at what frequency do you crossover from the mains to your subs (assuming that you have one or two)?I power them using the Parasound A21 (350 WPC into 4 ohms) but still get better sound with twin front-firing subs handlin... | |
| Sources for Focal 1038Be II Wait: is there really a Focal 1038Be 2? how is that different from a Focal 1038Be? | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? Ozzy62: Unfortunately, my subs don’t have speaker level inputs, only line level.I don’t care about ‘more bass’ - just want to integrate subs as well with the speakers as I can. | |
| Focal Electra 1038be owners, For two-channel: Parasound A21For three-channel: Parasound A31I use the prior with the 1038Be and it is fantastic (yet inexpensive). | |
| Amp for focal 1038be? FWIW: I use the Parasound A21 with the 1038Be and it sounds fantastic. | |
| Used Focal Alto Utopia or New Focal 1038BE I auditioned both. I had option to buy great condition Alto Utopia for $5,500. Too bad that they would be too big in my room (20x20x9 but with back wall open to living room / foyer).So, I ended up buying the 1038Be instead.The main difference is i... | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? Hmm. Could someone explicitly confirm what I read here is true: that, even if I use twin-subs, I should set the bass on my speakers to 'Large'?My setup: a Denon X3700H AVR (used as a pre-amp) --> Parasound A21 --> Focal Electra 1038Be + Twin... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) To the OP: given the 60XT’s impedance curve, it seems that they would not match well with tubes at all. Tubes require relatively stable impedance over the frequency range.They also perform quite poorly when driven with Denon / Marantz receivers (a... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? https://photos.app.goo.gl/bUhcB8d68CYYRRh87 Didn’t work. Both the links in the post above this one were of the MA GX300. This one should be with the ML60XT. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? https://photos.app.goo.gl/QrVEiDuBDmCw9PN99 https://photos.app.goo.gl/VDLyXgWpdNz13d6k8Hope this works. This is the ML60XT tried out in the same environment as the MA GX300. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? There are quite a few that say that these are awful. A lot of them do so after hearing them at a HiFi store next to another brand like Monitor Audio. Powered by receivers.These have 4-ohm nominal impedance but go down below 3 ohms. Use a suitable ... | |
| Measurements for Monitor Audio Silver 500 Thanks, that is useful. |
