Hi Theo
Where are you located? They are in Philly at David Lewis Audio. The Reference sound great at low and high volumes...but the Focals do have an added zing. I just cannot live with the look of them. And without the covers on, they don't look right. The finish on the VAs is exceptional. Mine are in cherry. I have been experimenting with different cables that I have at home (since The Cable Co lending library is currently closed). The difference is not minor.
I'm going to play some Nugent now!! Thanks for the suggestion.
