Ozy, I looked up the Accuphase 900/901 and it's beautifully made. It appears from the literature it's designed to pull the maximum from SACD. How does it do on Redbook CD?

I opted for the stellas em, as i felt that another large/tall speaker like the g.u will not integrate well into the room and will overload it (which was the case with my previous 2 large pairs).

Ozy, I heard the Grand Utopia at the Newport Audio show and was impressed enough to hang around and speak with Christopher from Audio Plus (the importer).

Do the Focal Stella use the same tweeter as the larger one? I see fewer drivers, is that and cabinet size the only difference?
