nice, another uber expensive headphone to get excited about.
Yes, after all that Empyrean hype and my own buying/selling decisions, I am getting headphone fatigue. CanJam next week in NYC and I am done!

Where is always this 4k coming from? It IS 3k. Still friggin' a lot.$4K...? will wait for price drop
going by history Focal headphones end up at a lot less selling price in few months time from reputed sellers.
I see you already own a flagship closed headphone in Z1R.Yes, after all that Empyrean hype and my own buying/selling decisions, I am getting headphone fatigue. CanJam next week in NYC and I am done!
oh I went by a comment in the group.Where is always this 4k coming from? It IS 3k. Still friggin' a lot.
See, looks nice! The crap photos I posted didn't do them justice.We have had black on the Utopia, Elear, Elex, Elegia. Silver/grey on the Clear. And black with red pads on the Clear Pro. And now, finally.... A fourth color from Focal!
Some more pics:
Closed back design of Stellia, as opposed to the dipole design of Utopia, should means much less driver excursion is required to reproduce sub-sonics. As such, I don't think there is such a need to concern about clipping "protection" in the case of Stellia.The real question is, is this driver limited by the mechanical clipping "protection" that the other focal headphones are. If it is, is it consistent between models, and does it get worse over time? I really enjoyed my Utopia, but it became pretty much unusable near the end due to this "feature."
Yep! And that's probably the only thing keeping from jumping to the other side of the fence. I will make sure to drop the bass Saturday and I get that dreaded brap,brap,brap noise.
