Sources for Focal 1038Be II

Dead wrong.  The Be II has a larger tweeter by .25" for one...

Yes it is absolutely correct.  The II is a less bright sounding speaker, but still a slightly bright speaker over all unless set up perfectly and skillfully in the room, which 98% of “audiophiles” can’t do properly.

Yes I was of course correct about that.  Not sure why it was questioned.

ANYWAY, the 1028/1038 sound nothing like newer focal.  It is the last of the slightly forward/bright sound they were known for when not matched perfectly with the right gear.
 
I’d take a Kanta no2 over a 1038 any day.  The deal on the Electras now is tempting but make sure you can hear them first or you may regret it.
