Here are my Focal Electra 926 towers. Phenomenal sound. These retailed for about $4,200 from my research and were made from around 2001 - 2009. Weigh about 100lbs each. Very tall and definitely make a statement in the room. Very deep and a pure joy to look at to boot!! They are beside my KEF 207 speakers in a few pics.

Default Upgraded from Sopra N2 to Scala Evo

I recently made a deal with my local dealer to take my Sopras on trade for their floor model Scala Evos. Very happy with purchase.

My system was just installed today by the great team at Overture in Wilmington, Delaware. Focal Scala Evo IIIs powered by two McIntosh MC3500 Mk2s, being fed from a McIntosh C2700 and an Estoteric N-01XD through Clarus Crimson cables throughout. Today was just Day 1 but so far I am a very happy camper.

Nice speakers.
I recall when these were introduced at the NYC show. They were such a hit that there was a line all day to get into the room to listen to them. We did not wish to spend out one day at show standing in line so did not get to see or hear them. We did get to meet Dan D'Agostino (& his son) and see their first FBI, which was only the complete chassis with no guts in it, and had a beer in the lobby with Richard Vandersteen. Both were very pleasant.

Indeed. That's why this is a "Show Us" thread.
