The 3F reminded me very much of the Sopra 2 I had heard some months before. I am also looking forward to hearing the Magico A3. The 10K speaker segment seems to be very competetive suddenly with a lot of great products (Kanta, Persona, Magico A3, B&W 804d3 Dynaudio Contour 60, Upcoming Revel f208be).
On a side note, it looks like Focal is cracking down on discounting. Two dealers I knew of that would ship Focal at a nice discount no longer offer the line...they both gave me other reasons for dropping the line but I suspect Focal dropped them.
