| Why so many used focals? Funny. Let me guess you have the A3's. I heard more expensive magico's driven by some Dan'D you know 6 figure system and I liked the focals better. so much for taste. at least you know to never ask my advice. | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? The pair on AG currently are boasting cardas internal wiring and i've read some xover upgrades offer better performance. I'm not sure what needs improving or what long term listening will show but I would like to see more exposure for the brand. I... | |
| Why so many used focals? Let me know how you like the replacements. | |
| Paradigm Persona series I heard the 7f being driven by STR separates last weekend , This is a long thread so I might be repeating myself. Detailed and fast with a top end that I could compare to the focal electra 1028be meaning fed a good recording they really moved me a... | |
| Why so many used focals? The Kanta 3's are going back! If they sounded in my room like they did in the showroom I would have kept them, but the demo showed me i'm trying to fix the wrong thing and it's my room that needs treatment. I appreciate my dealers patience working... | |
| Personas....7F vs 9H BUMP, got to spend a couple hours with the 7f yesterday and am thinking about listing a kidney on ebay, is that legal? The 7f had me laughing uncontrollably for a couple minutes I was so alarmed by the presentation and unless your room is a black ... | |
| Why so many used focals? yea, they've changed how the search engine works. I type in Focal and 2 pages of speakers appear I hit the search button and they all disappear! then if I search from my phone I get a completely different list. Anyhow I finally got the Kanta 3's i... | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's Focal's need time to break in so your comment is irrelevant. | |
| Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50 I never owned the ls-50 i have the R107/2 , had the R105/3, Q5 and some c10's. I have heard modern Kef's and they sound similar to Kef of old, not a bad thing. Usher offers warmer sounding speakers. All the rags have anointed the ls-50 as world be... | |
| My Speaker Journey and Focal Sopra 2 Congrats! I've been trying to upgrade my beethovens for 4 maybe 5 years and with $10 k in hand and the used market I expected it to be a slam dunk. Big shout out to Bob Carver for his ethic. Not having a background that would give me even odds on... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Anybody see the dynaudio C4 for $8800? They are too tall to fit on 1 side of the room so I passed but I would expect them to be hard to beat. | |
| New speakers? No thanks. I was at a shop when a 2ci owner came in and all he could do was question the need for any of the other speakers on the floor since the vandy's were clearly the only speakers in the shop worth a dime. Gotta love his passion, personally I found the... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? The Kef R105/3 were dynamic threw a wall of sound and forced their will on you. soldVienna Acoustics Beethovens, offered big sound with excellent contrast that was intoxicating.storedKef R107/2 Bass! currently serving ht duties Revel F52. polished... | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s these be20 dmd's are the best sounding speakers i've had in my room and i've had several. to busy listening to do a write up but anybody with an opportunity to hear these should. | |
| Any good right angle power cables? I had a ysp-1 for 13 years that finally died and I replaced it with the ysp 5600 yesterday and the power outlet is on the opposite side! I screwed myself burying all the cords and cables in the wall and only routing to 1 side. I guess I could cut ... |
