My bad. I meant Sabrina (not Sophia). I must have been thinking about Sopra unconsciously. lol

I can't stress it enough to do give them >500 hr of break-in (last few hundred hours is mainly for the tweeters) despite your very positive initial impressions. My experience has been that there'd be ups and downs during the break-in. Wholeheartedly agree 1038's not only sound great, they look awesome. I have them in basalt.

I like them better than the Sabrina's and I loved the Sabrina's. A few things; Bass is much much better-quicker without any overhang. They play much louder without any strain. The Sabrina's didn't seem to like being pushed as much. Again I loved the Sabrina's but they weren't as flexible as the 1038's. The Sabrina's never sounded bad by any means, but some stuff sounded considerably better than others. Whatever I throw at the Focals is met with unflinching resolve. I haven't found a genre they don't like. They are a bit livelier than the Sabrina's. Those looking for wallflower speakers should keep shopping. For me that is a great thing. Today my ancient Stevie Wonder Musiquarium and Who's, Whos Next sounded like they were remastered. They weren't. High quality masters like JT's October Road was unreal. I also busted through the soundstage today. Very tall, broad and deep. More so than the Sabrina's. |

Glad you like them, I really enjoy my 1038's and they seem to work well with any music I throw at them.
Mine seemed to get a tad better after about 20 hours of play time, but that could just be phsyco acoustics |
