| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Give the Focal Sopra 2 a try - hard to beat for the price.However, with the run of used SF on AG you'll find a nice pair of Olympica 3's that will sound just sumptuous with your MAC gear. | |

| What Are You Powering Your Focal Utopias With? Focal Utopia 3 Diablos with Devialet D200. Neutral, neutral, neutral. Nothing that's not already there. More transparent and revealing than anything I've ever listened to including Magico's. Not bright or harsh or anything like, just air for mil... | |
| "One Box Solutions" - Suggestions ? I use a Macbook Air to stream Tidal via ROON (which now has native Devialet Air streaming) over wifi, thus my Macbook is in another room entirely and avoiding any cable issue at all. Works amazingly. User control is via the ROON app on iphone o... | |
| "One Box Solutions" - Suggestions ? Devialet all day long - nothing like it even at full retail. Used they're a steal.There's been a few D400's which in reality are all you'd ever need.Make sure you audition with the latest firmware as it does make a difference. | |
| Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017 Congrats on your new Scalas, I originally compared V2's to Sopra 2 and massively preferred the Scala.I have a Devialet driving a pair of Focal Utopia Diablo's and having tried a large range of speaker cables found the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 ... | |
| 2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list? Devialet and done.No need for a mess of cables or even a streamer.True all in in one with genuine reference class everything.Even the phono stage is spectacular. | |
| Sopra N°2 If you like Focal, Sopra's or Utopia you have to hear them with Devialet - you won't find better without spending ten's of thousands more.Both Focal and Devialet work very well with good copper - Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 has bested many more e... | |
| Ryan 610,Sonus Faber Veneer 2.0 & Fritz Carbon The Ryan will do really well, the SF Venere 2.0 too. I've heard both the Harbeth P3SER and the Focal 1008Be sound absolutely spectacular.If it were me, I'd go with the Focal and some good copper cables like AP or Shunyata or better still the new ... | |

| Amps/Pre-amps for Sopra 3 or Salon 2 Give the new Devialet 220/440/1000 Pro line a listen - if you like the Focal virtues they're an excellent match. You'll save a ton on cables and space too!The older D200/400/800 are great value used and not so far behind. | |
| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? I started my system with Verbatim 3" copper ribbon cables - all around great cable but no longer made. I then tried Nordost as they seem to get so many rave reviews, especially in the press. First off were Heimdal, total garbage, super thin and b... | |
| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? Bubba12 you might want to head down the cable rabbit-hole. Power and speaker cables make a huge difference with the Devialet. If you're not hearing a big improvement from the JC1's it could be your system is being held back some where? One thing ... |
