I love the Focal speaker very much. Great recording!

"I will wait for you", composed by Michel Legrand, original french lyrics by Jacques Demy and english lyrics by Norman Gimbel. Performed here by Nicki Parrott, vocals & bass, Jacob Fischer, guitar, John Di Martino, piano and Tim Horner, drums from the album "The last time i saw Paris".

I have had the pleasure of listening to these speakers at one of the hifi shows we had and they do sound amazing.

I wonder how they compare with JBL 4367 or the Vimberg Mino

Beautiful setup, beautiful sound.

[@craighartnoll8205]

Really appreciate your professionally made videos. Usual high quality sound.

[@EBJorge-ql1ii]

That’s not high quality sound. It’s compressed by KZbin. A CD sound in a hifi amp and speakers in your hall will make it better. In that room where the video was recorded must be fantastic.

[@defenderpapiol]

16000hz 128kbps without premium of course with premium it gives you more/quality starts from 20000hz 320kbps

Don't use any speakers. Try high end planar magnetic headphones with a good amp. Hifiman XS at minimum. Sure it won't sound the same as being there but it will give a much closer approximation.

[@brianfolk7546]

It's all a point of reference. This video is valid. Think of it, this video sounds better than a video of an iPad playing music. Your brain can account for the device you're playing it on.

[@Yeybeth]

The resonance of the cabinet is amazing, is make you feel the punching of the speakers ..great sound

[@paulreading8980]

Is this comment a wind up? You do realise you can't hear those speakers you are listening to your own speakers.... These videos are pointless. I was expecting to see a review not a 100% pointless video that has no useful content at all.

@@CptaiNPogo If we were listening in person you’d be absolutely right. But there are many channels here that have superb equipment and they are not able to record it as well for some reason.

For those who always seem to argue over what the recording actually sounds like versus what a particular speaker or room adds to the song you can always just pull it up on your streaming service or even through YT and get a better representation than you can listening to a speaker through your speakers. I know, sounds simple but it's a simple thing that seems to escape the average viewer here.

[@IrfanAli-xq8ml]

Every speaker presents its own unique take of the sound that is passing through its magnetised coils, cabinet harmonics and cone materials, I’ve yet to hear a speaker that can equal a live performance.

[@daledlima76]

That's because the moment an artist sings through a Mike in a studio...the voice or sound is coloured....period!!!

[@stevenoconnor5693]

Agreed but a speaker can do one thing that a vocal singer can’t do that is turned down as its volume and live performance, especially with a vocalist can never achieve this and hit the same octaves. Also, keep in mind, depending on the live performance all your senses are being used not just your ears. It’s an experience beyond that of course the speaker cannot caption that.

[@stevenoconnor5693]

It also comes down to where someone is placed in a live venue are you on the front of the audience? Are you up in an upper row all that comes in to play when you make a statement such as this, if you were listening to a live performance side of a speaker which they have their own amplification, and the voice is already been changed in real time you’re always gonna have coloration of the environment it’s just the way it is

[@seaneckhart9914]

Live performance is overrated and usually sounds like shit

[@davidct2406]

I’ve given up with live performances because I’m fed up with people recording it on their phones and the constant distraction of the screen lights staring back at me. Even worse if one is only a few feet in front of me where I end up watching the concert on his damn screen. Saw Peter Green some years ago and I guess because of his failing health didn’t speak much but his guitarist said “put your phones away and enjoy the concert” and they did and what a great concert that was.

[@AngelInTheDesert]

[@davidfromamerica1871]

Did you know you can have those Utopia speakers in your car..??? Yes you can..👍😎 You don’t know because you don’t know..😎 The problem is they can never sound like those in those speaker cabinets. The audio acoustics in a car is terrible. That is what makes it a challenge for car audio installers. What makes those speakers sound so good are the tweeters, they are very accurate. Making a good accurate tweeter is hard to do. You will also notice they put the tweeters between the two speakers. In that location the tweeters don’t have a conflict with the other speakers. The tweeters blend in between the two.
