Has anyone auditioned this speaker, and what were your impressions?

I own a pair they are very musical speakers.They are made for a small or medium size room.

I auditioned a pair head to head with the Focal Aria 926 in my listening room.  Amplification was PS Audio S300 with Mullard valved pre.   The SF excelled with strings and voice.  But the Focals were better with a wider range of music so I kept them.  The big knock that I could not get over with the FB's was the cheesy plastic base that screwed into the speaker with small wood screws. Maybe thats different now. 

I have a pair available in wenge. Let me know if you are interested. I have an ad for Dynaudio Focus 380s on US Audiomart. You can contact me through that ad.

I agree that they are awesome speakers. I auditioned both the III and the V. Ultimately bought the V's for room size and extended base. You can't go wrong the the III's as SF speakers are very amp matching friendly, and the mids and highs are exceptional without being muddy or fatiguing. It really just depends on your base needs/desires. The drivers are the same except the V's have 2 180 mm base drivers, whereas the III's have 2 150 mm base drivers.
