It's true that you can often see decent discounts on Focal's lower end speakers, but I've never seen 20% off any of their higher end lines. You CAN expect 20-30% off on Electra demo models though. It's been rumored that the Electra line is going away, so dealers might be discounting their remaining inventory. $9,999 is the published msrp for the 1038Be in dark walnut finish. I have that finish on my 1028Be's and it's really nice. As far as choosing the 1038Be over the new Kanta's or Sopra's, only your eyes, ears and wallet can determine that. To me, the Sopra's are basically restyled Electra's at a much higher price point. The Kanta's are a restyled Aria with a beryllium tweeter and are a step down from the Electra. I still see the Electra's as the best value at this time.
