I just put a budget hometheater system together using used components for a good friend.
Budget HT and Focal aren’t a couple of things you here together to often.
That was the finest sounding center I ever heard in a gorgeous piano black finish for $400.
I didn’t get to hear a Focal center as the audio shop I listened at was strictly 2 channel stuff. He could order other speakers but didn’t have any centers in his demo loft. If I do get some Focals I was planning to shoot for matching speakers across the front but your assessment of the C800V intrigues me.
He has been out of the country so we haven't finished his system, but I think there might be a Focal set up in my house someday.
I have to agree with you. I’ve been wanting a Focal setup since I first heard them but I was only on temporary orders so my finances where unsure and I didn’t have the $ to afford such a system at the time. I have a real job now and hope to be closing on a house soon and I’ve already lined up the dealer for an in home demo.
Please post back if you have any more share about the Focals.
Cheers,
Dean
