VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair

Ny audio best of show had to have been the VAC suite driving Focal Grand Utopia speakers. Dynamics were off the chart! Bass was tight and forceful!! The Eagles singing Hotel California from the Hell Freezes Over Tour had to have been the most realistic presentation that I've ever heard on any playback system anywhere in the world at any price! (Granted total room electronics cost topped $600k) It would have cost less to have the Eagles perform live at the show!! Anyone else get a chance to hear it or feel system didn't live up to hype and price??

Hi Fplanner,
For sake of clarification, Jwm's example of someone selling equitment and denying it concerns a friend of his. He wasn't referring to you. I never understand how these situations evolve regarding preferences. It is purely a matter of personal taste. If I like the sound of something, what other's may think has no bearing on my choice.

If he was a confident person he would not have avoided you at all.
So "he" is Dev referring to JWM's friend?

Hands up, don't shoot!!! JWM, was that you on TV rolling out the Rockport on the hand truck? LOL!!!

Jwm, really doesn't matter. Just refe4r to his own page - speaks for it's self. - I met up with many others and had a blast, went out for dinner with Albert P - Ralph of Atmosphere, Tri of Tri-planner and numerous others.

Wow! This thread and discussion of the Focal's has gotten interesting. Dev, I noticed you own the EA MM 3's and in one of my earlier comments in this thread, I made the claim the MM 7 is the best speaker I have ever heard; and I have heard the Grand Eutopia's, Wilson XLF's and a few other top ones not coming to mind. Have you considered calling Mike Lavigne and listening to his MM 7's? Also noticed you are selling all your VAC, what's next? Hard to beat Kevin's Statement line up.

Knghifi no not me. When I saw the crates for the first time I was scared. How was I going to get these beasts into my house. I called the piano movers.
