Why is the Focal Utopia Be 8" sub 1200 dollars?

This post totally reminds me of Tony D's post on that T15K for sale on ebay he posted on Facebook today. Those who don't understand it, will question it and say you can do better with cheaper equipment. Those who do understand the product, it's use and what it's capable of will know it's worth the price

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Well to be fair, it does have 12 slugs of neo. And they are red.

LOL. I believe it. Doesn't even surprise me.

Those look REALLY cool, but even if I was rich ... I wouldn't see an application for them.

Maybe for a 2 channel only sound system ... but not where they would fit into a 5.1 or 7.1 setup ...

But then again, I'm more of an "in wall" home application person when it comes to things like this.

They have surround dipole speakers for 5.1 and 7.1 applications that are smaller and have the woofers built in.

The company is surprisingly young as well.

For me, on music, 5.1 has no place. 2 channel is king. If you want you can include 2.1 but I hate that term.

Heard the name of Harmon Kardon the other day. I remember back in the day they were the SHIZNIT too ... Never could afford them.

I did however have a pair of BOSE 901s ... AMAZING sound from those things !!!

All my stuff from my old Blues Car Audio build (pair of tweeters, four 5.25" drivers, and a pair of 15" drivers) are still playing in my Mom's vintage stereo console ...

(you know, that thing that looks like a dresser) ...
