My next speakers will be the Focal Grand Utopia EM's. Part of the reason I also was cautious about revealing my plans was because I really am not at all interested in getting any speaker, or "you should hear this..." advice, no matter how well intentioned, which I'm sure your suggestion is. So while I appreciate your input, my mind is already made up. I have heard the Focals locally and they are exactly what I want to try next in my system.I bet if you take a poll with Agon members for a cost no object speaker, no one speaker will get more than 10%.
