Focal Electra 1028 BE

I pulled the trigger on some Focal Electra 1028 BE and I'm thoroughly excited. I'm currently running Focal Aria 936. I'm just looking for some feedback on what I should expect? Are the Electra's end all be all speakers? Speakers are on carpet over a concrete slab, are isoacoustic feet worth the investment in this scenario? Thanks y'all!

Hi OP!

So glad you are happy.

What do you think of the physical stability of your speakers?  Are they likely to tip over easily to the sides?

Best,

E

Do I need the outriggers

Depends on how comfortable you are of them falling. :)  It's not the carpet or spikes, it's the very narrow footprint.

I promise you, once you get them, you'll see what I mean just by tipping them from the side.  You'll jump on them.  So feel free to wait and try this out.  I take no responsibility for scratches.

Best,
E

I would recommend you look at outriggers. I've had experience with Focals in the past, and the biggest issue was keeping them from falling due to the narrow footprint.

I suggest you use spikes, this will poke through the carpet and give you the least back and forth rocking motion.
