| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's Just picked up my walnut Sopra 2's from Overture Audio in Delaware today. They're very nicely built compared to my 1028be. The method for coupling the speaker to the floor is infinitely better than the Electra series, especially on my carpeting. N... | |
| Speaker cable btw Focal Electra 1028Be & LFD amp I've got the 1028be speakers and I originally drove them with an NAD M3 integrated amp. It worked fine but lacked the refinement the speakers deserved. Now, I'm using a Simaudio 700i which sounds just awsome but cost twice what I paid for my speak... | |

| Focal Electra 1038Be Quality Control Issues? I'd get yourself a sweep frequency response test recording starting out in the low 20hz range that sweeps continuously up to the high frequency range. If there is any vibration caused by the cabinet or resonance somewhere else in your home you'll ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Focal 1028BE ? The 1038 has deeper bass than the 1028 but the tweeter is higher so you'll need to sit higher or further back to keep your ears within the 10degree angle recommended by Focal. They are both awesome speakers and I'd go the extra $$ f or the 1038 if... | |
| JM Focal 1037 BE speaker placement Recently I got a pair of 1028be2's. My room is a cathedral ceiling with a Loft over the listening area. 9' ceiling, then open on both sides. My speakers are setup in a modified triangle with 2'10" out from the rear wall. Sidewalks are 17' away. Th... | |

| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range My 1028BE2's are broken in now and I've changed my CD Player to a new Moon Neo260D. I couldn't be happier and I'm so glad I auditioned the B&W's, Triton and Focals using several amps. The 804D required a lot of power to sound good and had to b... | |
| Has anyone heard the Focal 1028BE ? I purchased a pair of 1028BE2's in June. They're an incredible speaker with unbelievable detail and transparency without hardness. The bass is tight, fast and well balanced with the midrange and highs. They image great and draw me into the music. ... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player Right around the 240hr point I noticed my 260D "opened up" a bit more. Vocals that were recorded "hot" seemed to sound louder but not constricted as they did with every other CD player I've tried. I've got no idea why this could happen because my ... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player I've had my Neo 260D for several weeks now and I'm quite pleased with it's sound.Currently I'm using it as a transport with an external DAC so I can't comment on the quality of the DAC card. It's definately a very detailed and smooth sounding piec... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player How do you like the player now that you've had it for a while? I've been considering replacing my Cambridge CD transport/Bryston DAC with either the Moon 260D or a NAD Music Server. I'm not convinced yet about the benefits, and hassles of using a ... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range 've had B&W CM7's setup mostly for 2ch, but they also served well connected to a HT system. For years, I used both a 2ch stereo amp, then switched speaker wires and used a HT receiver while watching movies.It was time for an upgrade so the cho... | |
| NAD M3 Master Series Amp Thanks guys for all the replies. Today I called Bob Moran at NAD Canada. He got me setup with a service center in Baltimore that's going to run the firmware update for me. He said it's something I could do with a Windows PC and sent me the codes, ... | |
| NAD M3 Master Series Amp Thanks for the replies folks. The Niles switch is something I don't want to use, I don't like anything inline with my expensive speaker cables.Also, I've tried using the L/R outputs from the receiver into the M3 but I had to have the M3 volume up ... |
