New Focal Grande Utopia EM

Stricken, I wish!!! Oh, I wish so much I was the owner to play with all of these toys!! I am unfortunately a hobbyist and am regularly contracted by Broadcom and have shopped for systems there over the years. As far as the economy and products and the timing, I guess it is a world problem. Nobody in the world has control over anything right now. It seems like the world is running scared and I think it is funny. People are either over-optomistic and spend all of their money or they get absorbed by fear and hide every penny. Neither method is the right one.

Heard it at Rocky Mountain. It has potential but did not sound special in any regard. They were using Boulder Amplification & Digital. No one was very impressed. Maybe it needed break in, better recordings. I will give it one more go.

Dgad, what did you hear that you did like in that category?

I personally think the system at RMAF sounded great. Well, it better at that price... :-)

I spoke to a group of enthusiasts that visited RMAF and they consistently loved the setup. i was starting to question my own ears before i spoke to these guys. They mentioned that the "Wilson-ites" frown on anything not produced from Wilson and i hope that is not the case with luke-warm feedback listed above.
