How was the Houston show?

It was a great show. It had been at least 20 years since my last time seeing them. They don’t play nearly as loud as I remember. I guess as more families attend the shows they’ve turned the volume down. My son had a blast and now keeps asking to borrow my Metallica cds. :lol:

Will be at the Toyota Center later this week. Haven’t seen them in years.

What’s your experience with the two brands?

When I was auditioning speakers I had the same impression you did with Sonus Faber. Very polite and laid back, which didn't match what I was looking for. I ended up with Focal Sopra 2's. What I liked was the soundstage, separation of instruments, clear and tight top end without being bright, amazing clarity in the mids, and a solid tight low end. The problem with Focals is they can drop into the 2 ohm range in the lower frequencies and if you don't have a stout enough amp you'll notice. When I was auditioning, the Focals always sounded best when paired with an amp that could control the woofers. I'm using Class D monoblocks so they give me the control I need down to 2ohms.

Focal and Sonus Faber are on opposite ends of the spectrum to my ears. Maybe your Dali’s are right smack dab in the middle and that’s what you like. :dunno:

Max has ice in his veins. Norris can’t slip up now.

Kimmi let both McLarens through. He didn’t protect against Piastri and he just let Norris through. Disappointing!

Let’s go Sainz!

Definitely interesting how the rest of the race will work out. Personally, I really hope papaya messed this whole thing up.
