Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

These 2 way Focal Electras (1007Be) with beryllium tweeter are the real deal. I wanted to replace 20 year old Rogers LS2 2 way bookshelfs, and over the years had listened to a number of brands in the $2000+ price range and could not see the point in changing - until I heard these.
They stood out from other speakers that I listened to - B&W Nautilus 805, Monitor Audio GS10, Revel Performa M22, Elac BS204.2, Dynaudio Contour S1.4, even MBL 311E what I liked a lot.

Classical, chamber music, acoustic, jazz, percussion, vocals, all sound wonderful - clear and detailed but not tiring to listen to for lengthy periods. The music comes alive! In fact, the sound from these can be heard clearly (with volume at normal level) several rooms away in the house which wasnt the case with my old speakers.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $4000.00

Summary:

very good pair of loudspeaker in the philosophy of the manufacturer,
sound with much of precision,
very clearly, open, very neutral and realistic, the low frequency stupid really very precise and realistic, mid band very to detail, the tweeter is very very good, very silky, very conclusive, with detail without compromise.
that is my 4th pair of focal jm lab I was never disappointed by this manufacturing,
but with this pair of focal Be I am very very satisfied,
the only disadvantage is that you owe super electroniqque tweeter are very sensitive has that

Strengths:
stereo image, opening, timing. sound very realistic, very to detail, very clear,
their price is really well for their quality,

Weaknesses:
to have a very good electronics, and cables

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
