will up date all the details once listening impressions completes
finally got a good offer on FOCAL 836 V,bite the bullet.
received those speakers.
they are massive, each 30 kg and tall.my wife helped me to unpacking them. its a two peoples job.comes with heavy duty cast iron bases and adjustable spikes.
the speakers have two bass reflex ports at front and one at the bottom, because it has its own plinth the placement is not a big problem.
unpacked the monsters and bases fixed and kept beside my trusty JBL L112.
Source is OPPO BDP 83SE,Preamp is vintage Philips AH280 and pioneer SA 9800 power amp input as power amp.
only two channel music was played with out sub woofer.
listening impressions;
treble is very fine,not any over sharp,just perfect.
mid bass is very very good.soft punchy sound more like to listen than the neutral side.i am not thinking it is a specifications speaker.it is a musical speaker.
the sound is highly enjoyable.very crystal clear highs.highly enjoyable bass.very tight,precise and quick bass from the three woofers.
no window rattling,just thumping bass hitting on your chest which makes your foot tapping.
finally i am enjoying every moment with my new speakers.they are not warm as my vintage jbl L112,But the sound is highly enjoyable.both are leaders in their own areas.
temp my JBL moved to my bedroom.
