Hi
i have PC (Windows 10) using it for HTPC to watch movies , youtube , etc.
and also with Jriver to play music
i don't have a CD player , only audio files from the computer.
i have also Lumin A1 , i thought to try eliminate the need of computer to play music
but ending never use it...
heard from few people that it's better to careful match electronic with Focal Maestro
can sound boring without the right components
plus the issue with the drop down under 2 ohm
any idea what can be good match?
Thanks

Hi
i got the Phantom Silver , i just don't get the hipe around this speakers
not so great.
i like the idea of control the music from my ipad / Macbook without cables and using Tidal account
but the sound not so good , too much bass also
i went to best buy and check Sonos 5 and B&W...
Hi
i like the Cardas clear more
the Cardas sound with more "weight" , more "analog" , full body sound
the Tara sound leaner.
i chose Tara because many Focal Utopia owner like them , and also dealers recommend them with Focal
i want to test more Brand/models to compare with Cardas...
right now i have only stock cords.
not sure what the power need in watt for the Vitus
but i know they have 2200VA power supply in each amp.
rest of the system:
Focal Maestro Utopia
Pass Lab Xp10 pre
Luxman DA-06 DAC
wireworld platinum usb cable
Cardas Clear and Tara Labs the one speaker...
A-200 cost around $50K in the US
and around $20K in Japan
$30,000 difference !! :confused:
heard that professional technician can tweak it to work in the US
and that the power supply are universal.
anybody know something?
