Thanks for the feedback DrTone. People do have preferences and I do like the slightly laid back presentation on my Quad 21L. But when I heard the 1008s, they were in a completely different league. With the Naim amplifier, it did not sound "in your face". If anything, the speakers kind of disappeared. I forgot to mention - I also auditioned the Monitor Platinum PL200 (or was it 300...not sure). Though these were considerable expensive than the 1008, they did not disappear like the Focals and the music seem to come through the speakers.
Your signature shows Wilson Sabrinas. Are these the one you move on to, after the 1038?
