Buck,
Unfortunately I was in the camp of not really liking the setup. I don’t think it was the speakers though because I heard focal maestros at a friends house that to me at least sounded far better so I I’ll say I’m still needing to hear the grand utopias also! George |

I've heard the Grand Utopia III at my dealer with big $$$ backing gear (should be obvious with $200K speakers), and wasn't impressed either. Same with the Stellas. Just not my flavor & style. But I've heard impressive sound from Von Schweikert VR55 Aktive in the very same spot of that main room (and some of the same gear), and Focal Sopra 3's in an adjacent smaller room with less expensive gear. That main room is what I would've thought to be a perfect size for the big Utopias, too.

Sorry I missed it guys. Would have gladly traded 5 days in NYC for one good night listening to music!

I was one of the guys that liked Albert's system. My opinion may be skewed given that I don't get to listen to a multi-hundred thousand dollar system every day. I did get to hear the Wilson Sasha DAW demo and I preferred that setup over Albert's. However, if the goal of Albert's system was to present the music in a way that made you feel like you were engaged in the music, then I believe he accomplished this...
I have photos of the system, but unfortunately I can't post photos or even update my profile given that I am so new to the community. I have a very modest system relative to the rest of the DFW club members and hopefully at some point I can add my details. Jon |

Jon,
Welcome to the club. Beware, Ivan is an enabler for upgrades. He makes it so easy for subscribers to feed their habit. |
