What can you tell me about Focus Audio?


I'm in the process of auditioning speakers. Looking for a small to midsize floor stander for my 12'x18' room. A dealer has turned me on to Focus Audio. I plan on listening to a pair from their Prestige series this weekend (FP80Se), but I have found little about them on the web.

Anyone have any experience with these speakers? As background, I listen to about 75% rock and 25% jazz.

Please keep me in the loop as you develop your impressions of the FP80se. I am down to a few researched speakers for audition myself, among them, this particular Focus model. I would like to a/b audition along with Dynaudio's Focus 360s. Hope you're enjoying them!
You are correct in that my sweet spot is 11'5" at the triangle, w/ the back wall (untreated) directly behind me. Ears are right at the mids height, so I must say that my current Ospreys are about as dailed-in as can be and sound very nice, though I'm certain would be even nicer soundstage pulled a bit more away from the wall. I will indeed watch with great interest as your FP80SE's break in. Sounds like you made a very well-researched choice, and a similar path which I am currently following. I've been able to listen to the 360s along side the 220IIs at a salon in St. Louis (as well as the Sapphires, though beautiful, too much for my room!). Agreed in that I was at all impressed with the 220IIs. The PSB Synchrony 1s were under consideration, so I'm very interested on your mention above. Also on the short list are the ProAc Response 2.5 and the Audio Physiks Virgo V. Like for you, the room is the key, and not to overwhelm, so we'll see. Very impressed thus far however with all I'm hearing about Focus Audio!
Congratulations, and Happy Listening ~!
