I‘d never place a water filled vase between my toys. Desaster would be imminent…:scream:

Water? What water? The Woos boil off any water before he even plugs in a pair of headphones :D

So, I’ve moved my listening station for the summer (been 90+ here for a few days). My landing listening area is not air conditioned but my entertainment room is. It’s a little crowded and I’ll move back in the cooler weather, but this is it for now!

Looks awesome! I love the Focal aesthetic especially with the matching stands :)

Love the Totem Arro speakers for small listening spaces. Always a favorite of mine.

I have the same NAD amp ... a giant killer, IMO.

Nice trio of Focal HPs you have there.

Thanks! There is a Totem storm sub off to the left. The Arro speakers with the sub are every bit as good as the far more expensive Forrest based on extensive listening at the Totem dealer. He was very accommodating and actually recommended the combination which I bi-amp them from the NAD. The location is certainly not optimal but it’s still really fantastic. I use either the Focal Arche or the Sony TA as a DAC As well. The Sony works really well with DSEE upsampling.

What Focal's are best in term of musicality?

From my experience they add some color. If you want more texture you have to go with an older dot-matrix :D

Or if you really want leading edge note attack I recommend a laser model...

For me, it’s a toss up between the Utopia and Stellia. I go with the Stellia when there is distracting ambient noise, but the Utopia is better (marginally) in a really quiet environment. I ended up with the Clear because I purchased the Arche and Clear as a package and will probably end up gifting them to my stepson. They are only a small step below the Utopia but the microfiber ear pads and headband are sweat magnets and I’m guessing they won’t hold up as well as leather pads In my early opinion.
