11-01-14: MribobDev,Did you really sell your beloved MBL's? What will you listen to replace them? Your friend I am sure got great deal and wonderful speakers. What amp will he power them?Thanks for sharing your personal experience, I have enjoyed... 
VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair
We have a local show happening called the TAVES Show, no Grands present but the Stella's were paired up with the Naim outrageously priced mono blocks "fugly". To date the sound compares to the DEVIALET I heard driving the Grands a few years back, ...

Fplanner2000, that's all that matters - that you are enjoying. Hopefully with your new designed rack you won't have the huge tall designed one full of gear hampering your left speaker, hopefully you will attach your flat screen to the wall also - ...

10-28-14: Fplanner2000I too was at RMAF and heard both Focal rooms. 2 definitely distinct flavors. I have heard the Grands sound distinctly better at Boulder Electronics' demo room in Boulder. No offense, but I don't think they were set up as well...

10-20-14: Czariveythey may be scams too.I agree, with so many scams it's getting harder to differ what is and what isn't even when it comes to selling. If they use PayPal watch out. So many members id's being hijacked still, I almost got scammed r...

RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
10-17-14: Audiofreak32I have heard the MBL 101 Extreme speakers on maybe $100k in MBL front end electronics... sounded horrible. I much prefered the Sonus Faber speakers at a FRACTION of the price with McIntosh front end. You could buy a decent ca... 
RMAF 2014 Observations
Cymbop,there was no Wilson/VAC room with Peter M - you must mean VTLMbovaird, Focal/Solution consistently good, I would say okay at most, the stage never surpassed the outer edges of the speakers, performers were at most 2D - boring, yawn! Tonalit... 
Legacy Audio "V" Statement/Flagship Speaker...
Zephyr24069,In the same room I actually preferred your speaker model, found it to be musical.Honestly no system at the show impressed me to the point of opening up my wallet, what was the most interesting was the CANJAM area. I did pick-up some ca... 
VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair
Follow up to hearing both at the RMAF 2014 show for three days on numerous occasions, my thoughts are below, others may differ. I also listened to the Stella's in another room several times.I was really disappointed over all with both the VAC and ... 
Legacy Audio "V" Statement/Flagship Speaker...
Sorry but I don't feel they were the BEST sounding at the show, to me actually forgettable. I visited numerous times during my three day visit, walking out with the same thoughts. 
RMAF 2014 Observations
I found there were allot more average to poor sounding rooms in comparison.I would ad the Nola's & ARC gear combo, was sounding great.Yes I agree both Focal rooms with the Grand's were a disappointment - I have Vac 450 Statements and Sig pre m...
