The Source AV/Focal/Dan D'Agostino -- Los Angeles Audio Show 2017

[Ron Resnick]

Jason Lord, proprietor of The Source AV in Torrance, CA, hosted a large room demonstrating Focal speakers and Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems electronics.













Jason is a veteran of both the high-end audio and the home theater industries. He is a true expert at setting up and optimizing both high-end audio and high-end video systems.

The sound I heard from the Focal/Dan D'Agostino system was dynamic, transparent and very detailed.

He's obviously doing a far better job than Focal themselves when it comes to demonstrating their speakers.
I've had three separate UK dealers visit chez gav recently with very low expectations of my system, having recently attended official demos by Focal in which their speakers were matched with Naim electronics, to poor effect.
One of them brought a pair of JBL K2's he thought he would easily sell me.
However after he heard the stellas he didn't even bother to get the K2's out of the van

Apologies for the tone of that last post.
Was going for 'gleeful'
but struck the rocks of self satisfaction
