Gotcha! Thanks for the insight!
Right now I think the Focal SM9's are awesome and I haven't even heard them yet!! Right now, I believe that if I hook them up to my MCD500 Its all I need. Then I can have my two channel listening and my Home Theater |

I look forward to your impressions. I am a focal fan myself - run maestros.

I don't know if I will find any retailer who's got 'em I might just catch word of mouth praise, but not enough to risk the money on.

I did mention a caveat earlier but might be worth repeating.
The input impedance on the Focal studio monitors are very low. About 10kOhms or something. http://www.focalprofessional.com/url...fication-sheet On my Ayon CD5S which features no negative feedback, it does create weird distortions in balanced mode and less so in Single Ended. Not an issue when I use a solid state Bel Canto Pre3 or DAC3.5VB II though. In the past, there was also a flagship SM11 with its own DAC!! So you had to use something like a Weiss INT202 to supply dual mono SPDIFs to the speakers!! Last edited by doggiehowser; 07-15-2012 at 02:26 AM. |

Whoa! I remember seeing the SM11's
noted: the electrical issues I would like to see a face off of the SM9 vs the Diablo Utopias |

I still think the SM9's would be a fantastic pair next to my iMac.

My brother has a pair of the SM9's in his recording studio and they are a fantastic monitor. I really don't have any issues with their sound from any perspective.
