Why so many used focals?

The Focals I've auditioned were far overpriced for the sound they produced. Music Direct is closing out a few models at prices closer to where they should've been priced to begin with. 

The day came... After 50 years of serious Audio addiction, I recently moved to a smaller residence and downgraded my Stereo System. I had to sell my Wilson Sasha's, Krell EVO 302 but kept the Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables, the VPI turntable, Grey's Power Company AC Conditioner and the Oppo.
This new place is too small for the Wilsons and Kell. So what gear does an old Audiophile replace it with. A new McIntosh MA 5200 and the Focal (used) 1008BE's. I hooked em up to what audio gear I had left and liked what I heard. The Focal 1008BE's  delivered, no disappointment. My first CD was 'Electric Light Orchestra', I've been listening to them for decades. 
I will be hooking up the VPI tomorrow and I'll report back on my vinyl experience. Great way to start the new year, used is good too.

Music Direct has the Electra’s?  If so, you’re listening to a speaker that has zero in common with any of the newer designs. Also, the listening rooms at MD are not good.  

I have Sopra 2’s and to me what really stands out is how balanced they are, a true “all rounder”.  They don’t throw the largest soundstage but they’re still spacious.  They have tons of air in the treble but never get harsh.  They have good drive and dynamics for rock music whereas many “audiophile” speakers sound weak.  They don’t dig super deep but the bottom end is very weighty with good definition.

You truly can enjoy every music genre and not be disappointed and that is not easy to achieve!

I agree with emcade. Don't sell the Electras short either. The 1028be and 1038be can sound spectacular. The 1028 be are my wife's favorite speakers in our home. She loves the way they look and sound (she has very good ears). I had to promise that I would not sell them.The drivers are similar to the Sopras (trickle down technology from the Utopia line). At their current close-out prices they are a true audio bargain! Our local dealer cannot sell the Sopras while Electra stock remains. Sadly, this won't be a problem for long!
