Amazing Focal Sale. 'F*ck Speaker-Spikey Thingies', Says Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal

www.upscaleaud...
You've worked hard. Treat yourself this Labor Day to a pair of the Focal Aria in one of our favorite finishes, Dark Walnut. Perfect for when you have classic or rustic decor, and don't want a black mirror-finish monolith. Up to $1,500 off!
The Aria's aluminum-magnesium tweeter offers great detail and lots of top-end sparkle that never gets harsh. The flax cone mid and bass drivers combine Focal's lean, fast bass with a bit of grit and texture. The Aria works wonderfully with our PrimaLuna EVO integrated amps. Pair the 906 or 926 with the EVO 100 for a stunning low-cost system.

There is a lot I can't afford, but I always appreciate you pointing people away from the "thingies" and putting their money towards the correct components.

[@kwelch77]

I like the fact that this guy offers close outs and b stocks to give audiophiles great gear at a great cost.

[@Badazz08]

Music direct does the same thing.

[@davidshowslsu]

Really hope you do this sale again, I'm ready to buy the focal arias now

[@Carrera6rennsport]

when im jonesin' for nostalgia like old Cal Worthington commercials I come to hear uncle Kevvy's pitch...Kevin, keep up the good fight LOL

[@garyhope2]

Don't forget his dog "Spot". When I fist moved to LA a long time ago, I could not stop watching Cal Worthington commercials. He was hysterical also.

[@turkandproud69]

I have the aria 926 and in love👌

[@stdjao14]

UNIQUE CAMRY I heard the aria 926s are amazing!

[@dennismhk3921]

I love this guy.....doesn't matter u gonna to shop from him or not....

[@y.k.9705]

Joe Cocker at Woodstock used to move like this guy.

[@dyrnenorka]

the speaker on the right in the video are focal Aria 936 and the driver are made of silk

[@garyhope2]

"speaker spikey thingies",.....ROFLMAO. ......OMG Kevin,....you should do comedy shows. You're hysterically funny, informative AND amusing. I hope I win the lottery so I can buy a fantastic system from you.

[@d_a_n_a2300]

One take no edits__you are great

[@512bb]

The first thing in business is to qualify your customer. No one with 1,200.00 speakers is popping for 5,600.00 footers,. sounds like a BS story to me.

[@progressiveguy9959]

I get the feeling that story was made-up Kevin.

[@reginaldjames7975]

Kevin calm down ,, your blow one of your tweeters, silly man ..

[@marcbegine]

Great presentation!

[@Markkrochuk1979]

I wish we had a cool store like yours somewhere near me. Everywhere around me either sucks, too pushy, or overpriced. Prices at Bay Bloor radio in Toronto are nuts.

[@cau8365]

I was recently become aware of Audio Excellence Canada, check them out.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Lol. Thank you for that intro Unca Kevy. Finally... I could not agree more nor feel more charged when I think of SS thingies. And that this is what curious people thinking about becoming an audiophile must face. Think how many just give up right there.. Not cool, Dude... lets keep on directing people to the real stuff. Bravo.

[@byronellis7503]

i guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me.

[@casenaries3382]

@Byron Ellis Instablaster =)

[@byronellis7503]

@Casen Aries thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@byronellis7503]

@Casen Aries It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out!

[@casenaries3382]

@Byron Ellis Happy to help :)

[@kevind2760]

Hey folks. I love Gaia feet. That's not I'm talking about. Those $5600 feet from "brand X" could be great. My issue is the story I was told. It's either taking $5600 from a guy that could use new speakers, or it's a complete lie. Either way, the guy that told it was a turd.

[@mumulove]

thats more than an ounce of .999 gold

[@scottdetter]

My speaker spikey things were included with my ML Ascents.

[@bobzealand5692]

That’s a great deal

[@robinmurray9801]

You show the Sham Wow guy too soon..""Buy the speakers and we will not only throw in the set up disc, we will throw in the burn in disc as well"" ""BUT WAIT, theres more, we will also include some speaker spikey things..""

[@longsideJones]

I have the Focal Aria 926’s with ISOACOUSTICS Gaia III “speaker spikey things” and they sound fantastic - so much better than spikes. Well worth £400.

[@mpitogo]

I have a pair of value oriented Polk Audio LSiM 707, not sure I will get better performance without spending 3x more. I have them powered by C47/MC452 can't get better than that value combo either.

[@garyhope2]

What is or are C47/MC452?

[@jonhubert372]

Where can I get the acoustic panels in your studio? I Googled acoustic panels and they don't come up.

[@ckpilot21]

How does the new Chora 826 compare with the Aria 926? With the sale price on the Aria they are now close to the price of the Chora. Thanks

[@rickym.5271]

What she looks like... LMAO

[@scottdetter]

I believe the other drivers are passive(not connected) like baffles.

[@vintageflanker7096]

Nope. All are active.

[@chrisvinicombe9947]

Hahahaha my speaker spiky things cost £6 for 8

[@AmericanConstellation]

Hey...I got ripped off by Herbie's buying some Fat Dots. Insane price. I thought I was getting 8...I got two...and they suck!

[@romandudinov2857]

Magico m pods?

[@klewja]

So kevin are you busting on Magico? I found Gaia titans on your site so isn't this the pot calling the kettle? No one is buying a pair of $1,500 speakers and putting a pair of gaia titans or magico apods let alone spods or mpods.

[@l3oGg]

I’m lost

[@salmonline]

which one is leaning?

[@TOM-C.]

LMAO!

[@HowieHaigh]

It obviously needs a speaker spikey thing to set it level! 😅

[@TOM-C.]

Only if the speaker spikey thing's cost is well above what the speaker was bought for! Luv ya Kevin. hehe

[@TOM-C.]

Actually, I think the one on the end is tilted forward, and possibly, the second speaker in is tilted back?

[@tbear6812]

It is also possible to sell sand to a arab in the middle of the desert!

[@slidetek]

Love Kevin, love UA, love Focal, but seriously - _don't_ call it dark walnut. It's vinyl. No way Focal should have attempted to sell these for the price of real wood or black lacquer. And, I'd have a tough time parting with that kind of coin for vinyl. Hopefully they're phasing it out. Good riddance.

[@danielrichardson1442]

WTF was that BS intro story !

[@andershammer9307]

Sorry i'm happy with my electrostatic speakers

[@user-gc2os9bv1y]

I owned the Aria 936 for a few months and i thought that the sound was wonderful until i listend to Audio Hungary Q40-S. Oh my God... The Focal can' t put out music at all, it's a very bad speaker... The Q40-S is a life experience. Listen to this wonderful speaker and see what music should be sound like...
