I auditioned a pair of Focal JMLab Electra BE 1027 this past weekend at http://www.hansonav.com/ in Dayton, OH...

WOW is all I have to say!

I think I prefer towers for my HT, but for 2ch, they destroy VR1's, and any other bookshelf I have auditioned to date (take into account, these are 2x the cost of any other bookshelf I have auditioned in the past)

they were very very clear, and had very nice low range extension.

Just thought I would share some of my fun this past weekend ;o)
(I have a question, but it will be posted in the amp section :rofl: )
