    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Both yes and no. There was a difference. I wouldn't say it's huge. I think it's mostly a matter of taste. The Primare I15 I think is the only one that would divide with some loving the clarity and other would find it tiresome

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Well I had my home filled up with amps during the weekend. Borrowed an Arcam SA30 and a Primare i15 Prisma from the dealer where I bought my Focal. Also I borrowed a NAD M10 V2 and a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120. During the weekend I had a list of 8 or 10 numbers that I listned to on all 4 amps (and my...

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Ok. I thought it was 20% in UK and then additional 25% in SE.

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    No, it's no problem as long that people don't begin fighting over a 6 y.o. referendum. What's done is done. Clearing out there facts is never bad. For me importing electronics from UK to Sweden it's 25% on the sales price. If I was dead sure about the purchase I would think about it.

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Well seems like I opened the Pandora's box of import/export after our divorce. Sorry about that. It was of the topic. I'm aware that 3 or 4 pieces at home over the weekend is to press it a little. But I do have a feeling that one or two will be sorted out pretty fast. Availability of the Primare...

    +25% VAT at the Swedish border..... So a 1.000 £ unit ends up at 1.500£

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Very interesting... I will give it a look too. But custom and VAT buying from UK after we divorced is quite hefty + 4-500£ on the price.

    What was your very first stereo?

    B&O Beocenter 2002 with matching B&O speakers. Got it in 1982 but I didn't new hire good quality I had in my hands - especially the speakers. Got a random Sony system instead in 1990. Changed the speakers too some years after. So sad. I was in my late 40ies before I got a better system

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    Thx for your input. It's very interesting for me that Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 gets more support than the more pricey competitors Cambridge EVO150 and NAD M10 V20. For some reason it's not easy to lend hifi equipment home (I live in Sweden). The only place is the store where I bought the Focals. Btw...

    Question Fighting with amp upgrade (Focal speakers)

    I'm getting killed here.. I know one of three questions here are about pairing amps with speakers. I do have a list but every time I try to do some research among at reducing my list the opposite happens and I end up with one more amp that could be my new love... Half a year ago I bought a pair...
