Focal Electra BE series

I recently picked up a pair of the Focal Electra 1008 BE monitors for my computer room system and have been extremely happy with them.  Very detailed and easy to listen to.  I've had a few "I didn't hear that before" moments.

I'm driving them with an ARC Vsi55 50 WPC integrated.  Other speakers I have in this system recently are Canton Vento Reference 9 DC 7 and Klipsch Heresy I and these are my favorites by a decent margin.  I haven't heard the Revels so couldn't say how they compare.

Don’t know if the OP is still following this thread or not. I have heard the 1038be at a dealer demo a couple of years ago and they sounded excellent other than some bass bloat which was the room interaction and less than perfect placement. I was in the market for a large floorstander and ultimately bought a pair of Revel Studio 2s at a price I couldn’t resist, however the Focal stuff is very impressive and I think they produce world beating speakers at almost all price levels. One of the few real speaker makers who do it all (most?) in house work. They create their own drivers to suit their individual designs and have heard that they have over 600 unique drive elements available for their various lines. In short, if you get a chance to hear the Electra series and like them, buy with confidence, as others have stated, you are getting a bargain regardless of what Focal might be replacing them with. Cheers

Or... it was the amp not quite controlling the woofers. Just maybe.

Just to followup and thanks for all the responses!

I went with the Revel Performa F228be and I couldn't be happier! Love the open very smooth midrange, voices are liquid as heck. Treble extended and sweet and great bass, very resolving and articulate without being a hint of brightness. Highly recommend!

congrats, did you consider, compare the Kanta 2 at the same price before buying?
