Stellia

I have both. Most of the Focals are made in France. I have the Stellias (very high end) The B&Os are made in China. I have the Portals for gaming and the H100 for casual/commute/travel.

None of my over head headphones are particularly hard to drive (Focal Stellia, Focal Utopia, HifiMAN He1000se, Senn HD800s). The HD800s is probably the hardest to drive and it has no issue with the DX340/Amp18. The Amp17 has more power but the noise floor is not as good, which can be an issue with s

I did an AB test with the Bathy MGs and PX82s. To me, the focals were the clear winner. Much better soundstage and instrument separation. And just a much more complete sound. The B&Ws were a bit warmer, but the slightly recessed vocals, no matter how I eq’d them were a deal breaker. The focals are t

I should try that one too, I have been ignoring Focal for too long after trying the Stellia. Not fair to judge everything they make based on a single model. Probably not going to buy anything though, I use the DCA Stealth and it seems like the perfect headphone for me. At least nothing else I've tri

lol its just a general comment. i think your szalayi is one tier above and solve the quirks you.mentioned. next tier with basshead trait CA Clara. but wayyyyy overpriced. even higher dynamics. just go focal radiance/stellia or denons with capble amp. end game bass dynamics even compared to these hig

I'm waiting for Focal to update focal stellia or make another close back like Radiance. I live in a noisy environment, so I listen to DCA E3 and MDR Z1R most of the time. Open back only for late night enjoyment.

Merci pour ta réponse, t’inquiète c’est pas à côté du tout, c’est même super pertinent. Alors pour répondre à tes questions : J’utilise le DAC/ampli RME ADI-2 DAC FS, donc a priori pas de souci de qualité ou de puissance. Oui, j’ai appliqué l’égaliseur Oratory1990 (target Harman) via Peace EQ, donc

OK je comprends. Ce dont tu parles est connu comme "diminishing returns". Passe un certains points la difference de tarif apporte de moins en moins d impact. Je n irait quand meme pas jusqu a dire 10 a 15% par rapport a un HyperX (plutot par rapport a un HD600 ou un Focal Clear OG). Le Stellia est e

Я з дитинства дуже любив музику, тому звук і саундтрек для мене дуже важливі. Я люблю атмосферні ігри в які легко зануритись і повірити. Саунд дизайн є фундаментом для цього занурення. Декілька моїх улюблених саундтреків які я часто слухаю навіть не граючи в ті ігри: Skyrim, Ori and the blind forest

I’m with you man. It took me 4 years to pull the trigger, constantly on my mind. I waited until I knew I had the financial stability to do it with peace of mind. I like them more than my Focal Stellia’s. I returned those, saved the $3000, and put it elsewhere
