Albert Porter's SystemI don't know. I think living with the Mega Lines for so long has skewed your perception :). If I remember correctly they are at least 6-7 feet tall and over 500lbs each. That seems pretty massive t... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemI agree with you on the tubes. Some of the best sounding Focal speaker systems I have heard have been with tube systems whether it was BAT, AR, or Pathos. IF I had a two channel system only, and I ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemI know they have more. As I said, I heard them with better amps and I was very impressed. Plus, I have a few things lined up, that I won't mention because I don't want to start a flame war, but the... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemThanks again for the detailed reply. I don't change speakers often either. I have had my 1027's since 2006. Lucky for me, I have a couple of great guys who come over and help me work on my system, ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemI hope you don't mind all my questions, even though I will never be able to get them. These aren't "modular" right? They are just one big speaker correct? I hope you did not have any step... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemThanks for the invite. I do appreciate the it. I can imagine the break in would long on a large, complex, muti-driver speaker like that. I am guessing you have an 8-9 foot ceiling at least? I know ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemOK. I guess all I can say is wow. I am a huge Focal fan and I have the little 1027's in my system. I have heard some of the newer, larger Focal but I have not heard the Grand EM's. I can only imagi... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemFantastic video Mike. I am not even a classical guy but even I have to say that sounded out of this world. And that's through my little dell computer speakers :). posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks Mike. No matter what, I do find it interesting that the smaller, less powerful amp became warmer. The XV-1s would be way way way down the line. After my media server I am going to get the Wa... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemYes. It is a pretty cool experience. I am pretty satisfied with my analog system right now. I really only listen once in a while when I have time but I still might try and get a "better" ... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks for the write up. I am not down on my system. That's why I put the :) in there. How about the Mono's. Are they light years ahead of the 2ch one? I would love to have the 108 in my system, bu... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemHey Mike. I haven't been in here in a bit. What can I say. MM7's and the 458's? I am speechless. Plus that TT and all the other gear. I really don't know what to say. I usually say "man, I can... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemHey Mike. Long time no speak. Yep, the room still looks fantastic. Even though I will most likely never have a system like that, it's OK :). I really like what I have and I am doing my best to maxi... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemI just don't think I have ever seen an amp that low before. I have seen 7, 10, 12 watts but not too many three. I did not mean to say that I thought it was low quality. I have no doubts it is a gre... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemI know the MM3's have self powered woofers but damn. The specs say the min is 5 watts so that amp is right there. Very interesting choice. Do you switch back and forth between te Dart and those? posted almost 13 years ago | View comment |
