OPINIONS NEEDED 100 trade-in chance FOCAL


Greetings!
My dealer called me today offering me 100% trade in on my Focal Chorus 726v speakers if I wanted to up grade... She recommended the new Focal 948 (she knows my sound and music taste)but I could choose whatever I wanted.

should I try the bookshelf Utopia Diablos?

I like the chorus, but MIGHT love the 948?? Hmmm (need to demo)

The main question is what do you think of the full price paid upgrade option?
thanks!!

I would clearly go with the Diablo. The Diablo is an iconic speaker which will always be in demand creating a high resale value. If you go with a new Diablo you should also expect a minimum 10% courtesy discount!
What Elevick said.

If you are making a major new investment, you have a lot of options. Focus on your goals and the bottom line. The dealer is offering just one of many options that might work out best, including staying where you are if you like it already.
Thanks for all the GREAT responses!!

I went ahead with the deal about 2 mos ago, and got an additional %10 off.
I do like the Focal sound and the Diablos were just to far out of reach (for now)

I have also upgraded the speaker wire from AP crystal oval 8 to Nordost Heimdall 2 (same upgrade offer full price PLUS %10 off "list" for the Heimdall 2's

I actually can hear "spacialness", and things I have not heard before with this combo.!! even regular old HD TV/ Netflix had this effect I haven't really noticed before.

Please forgive my lack of proper terms of descriptions as I am fairly new to this whole audio thing.

any further comments/ suggestions are fully welcome!!
