replace my Focal Electra 1038 , please advice
Price is good. I have never heard them but have heard the 1037be (no 1038be) many times and thought they were just ok. I kept and eye out for a used Pair of Scalas at one point but it never worked out for me (loved the looks). In that price range ... 
Magnepans and Rock
They are not that bad with rock but lack the punch in the chest whack of a drum that big box speakers do well. I listen mostly to rock and passed several times on magnepans but they have their good points. You will just have to have a listen. 
How would you feel
What brand? I could use a $9000 amp for $3700. 
SVS ULTRA Monitor or POLK LSIM 703?
"There, fixed it for ya." Thanks lolJust go listen with an open mind. If you do there is no way you will bring polks home. 
SVS ULTRA Monitor or POLK LSIM 703?
Not the polks. Really that is much better stuff put there. 
JL Audio E112 review
Yes maybe just too new and not many have heard them. I have demoed the Focal 1000be with a pair of Fathom 13"s. The 13"a were low pass filtered under the 1000be and the sound was not even close to what I am getting from the E112 using the internal... 
B & W Speakers - What's Up?
Do not buy! There has been tons of fraud in this site on the last year. Be careful. I would never wire money with out meeting in person first. If you are shopping in the $10,000+ range a plane thicket is negligible. 
JL Audio E112 review
Not much interest in these I guess. Anyway I ended up getting two E112. I had the 10s on order but they did not come in so I just upgraded to the 12s. I am using them in stereo and using the internal highpass crossover (dac to sub to amp) with a p... 
Anything happening at the new Thiel?
It just looked cut and past because they did not update the bass driver. Why not design an 8" version of the 3.7's driver for the 2.7. The 3.7 has always sounded pretty good but their price has crept up to $15,000 now while speakers like Revel Stu... 
Anything happening at the new Thiel?
Wow you are right not one word about Jim Thiel?!? Then firing Kathy a big part of the company I am sure. In the past I have been on the fence about buying 3.7s but honesty other brands have now surpassed their sound (in the 15k range) and the comp...

Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room?
The Wilson's may be a handful in a room that size. They are designed to be close to a wall but when I demoed the in a large room 20-30ish they filled the room pretty well with bass.
