Amazing Focal Sale. 'F*ck Speaker-Spikey Thingies', Says Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal

You've worked hard. Treat yourself this Labor Day to a pair of the Focal Aria in one of our favorite finishes, Dark Walnut. Perfect for when you have classic or rustic decor, and don't want a black mirror-finish monolith. Up to $1,500 off!

The Aria's aluminum-magnesium tweeter offers great detail and lots of top-end sparkle that never gets harsh. The flax cone mid and bass drivers combine Focal's lean, fast bass with a bit of grit and texture. The Aria works wonderfully with our PrimaLuna EVO integrated amps. Pair the 906 or 926 with the EVO 100 for a stunning low-cost system.

There is a lot I can't afford, but I always appreciate you pointing people away from the "thingies" and putting their money towards the correct components.

[kwelch]

I like the fact that this guy offers close outs and b stocks to give audiophiles great gear at a great cost.

[davidshowslsu]

"speaker spikey Kevin, ....you should do comedy shows. You're hysterically funny, informative AND amusing. I hope I win the lottery so I can buy a fantastic system from you.

[OCDHIFiGuy]

Lol. Thank you for that intro Unca Kevy. Finally... I could not agree more nor feel more charged when I think of SS thingies. And that this is what curious people thinking about becoming an audiophile must face. Think how many just give up right there.. Not cool, Dude... lets keep on directing people to the real stuff. Bravo.

Where can I get the acoustic panels in your studio? I Googled acoustic panels and they don't come up.

The first thing in business is to qualify your customer. No one with 1, 200.00 speakers is popping for 5, 600.00 footers, . sounds like a BS story to me.

[Markkrochuk]

I wish we had a cool store like yours somewhere near me. Everywhere around me either sucks, too pushy, or overpriced. Prices at Bay Bloor radio in Toronto are nuts.

[reginaldjames]

Kevin calm down, , your blow one of your tweeters, silly man ..

[ckpilot]

How does the new Chora 826 compare with the Aria 926? With the sale price on the Aria they are now close to the price of the Chora. Thanks

My speaker spikey things were included with my ML Ascents.

[kevind]

Hey folks. I love Gaia feet. That's not I'm talking about. Those $5600 feet from "brand X" could be great. My issue is the story I was told. It's either taking $5600 from a guy that could use new speakers, or it's a complete lie. Either way, the guy that told it was a turd.

[robinmurray]

You show the Sham Wow guy too soon..""Buy the speakers and we will not only throw in the set up disc, we will throw in the burn in disc as well""

""BUT WAIT, theres more, we will also include some speaker spikey things..""

[mpitogo]

I have a pair of value oriented Polk Audio LSiM 707, not sure I will get better performance without spending 3x more. I have them powered by C47/MC452 can't get better than that value combo either.

[klewja]

So kevin are you busting on Magico? I found Gaia titans on your site so isn't this the pot calling the kettle? No one is buying a pair of $1, 500 speakers and putting a pair of gaia titans or magico apods let alone spods or mpods.

I have the Focal Aria 926’s with ISOACOUSTICS Gaia III “speaker spikey things” and they sound fantastic - so much better than spikes. Well worth £400.
