naamanf Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Oh, somebody was auditing a pair of this so I sat down and listened as well and I was blown awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay The Focal Be speakers are on my short list of favorites. Actually the first Focals I really liked. I don't like the Wilsons that use the Focal drivers and never liked the older Utopias. Like them so much I use the Be tweeters in my car.

But not their tweeters. People hated them. I stopped reading about car audio since getting my car done, so I dont know if this is still the case. This was before any of the 'be' stuff came out.

I wouldn't wish the older Utopia tweeters on my worst enemy. Bright POS they were. The W cone drivers were okay. The new Be tweeters are a different animal and sound really really good. The Be mids are good but I prefer (and use) Scan Speak Revelators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Congrats Haj! That's awesome! Thanks! Of course, it's also bit nerve-wracking, too. At least I know what I'll be doing on weekends for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah... I ate little and slept even less for about 2 months before my closing. Stressful but definitely well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah, like having a listening room, even though it's on small side, is definitely a plus. Of course, we have to find a reputable contractor or two after the closing so we can take preventative measures on some minor issues. That should be fun (my family as a whole has had very bad experience with contractors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 One of a kind (probably), Stax to XLR cable from Spritzer. We shall soon see how the H2 does with some direct drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 That it pretty much what the HE stats come with as an adapter. I am sure the quality of that one exceeds the HE version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvse Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 One of a kind (probably), Stax to XLR cable from Spritzer. We shall soon see how the H2 does with some direct drive. Try it now! What are you waiting for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 It to arrive... Also I'm going to plug into an SRM-212 first. Just in case some unforeseen and freak circumstance might damage the amp or headphones. Id rather blow up a 212 than a 717. But the 212 is 12 miles away. Ill get it while I'm back home tomo.

The plug fits into a Stax socket on this one so that's an improvement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
