Focal Electra 1028 BE
I would recommend you look at outriggers. I've had experience with Focals in the past, and the biggest issue was keeping them from falling due to the narrow footprint. https://soundocity.com/shop/ I suggest you use spikes, this will poke through the carpet and give you the least back and forth rocking motion. |
Do I need the outriggers Depends on how comfortable you are of them falling. :) It's not the carpet or spikes, it's the very narrow footprint. I promise you, once you get them, you'll see what I mean just by tipping them from the side. You'll jump on them. So feel free to wait and try this out. I take no responsibility for scratches. Best, E |
I have the 1028BE and very happy with them. Several years ago I had my eyes set on a pair of Paradigm Signature S6v3. I was offered a great price on a demo pair which were next to a set of the 1028BE in the showroom. I remember wanting the 1028BE instead of the Paradigms because they sounded so much better but could not afford them at the time. So I settled on the S6v3. When I got a chance to purchased a pair of 1028BE at discounted price when they were discontinued, I jumped on them. Never looked back. |
So I've had the 1028 for a few days now and they are stellar speakers. Going from the Aria to these is a massive jump in detail and separation. I really enjoy the height of the tweet. Very pleased with the 1028 over the Aria. For now I'm satisfied. We'll see over the next few years if I get the itch again. |
