Sayang Master Jo...had I known earlier sana hinde ko pa na-format yung SD card. Too late now.

kahit na format na bro marts, pwede pa recover, wag lang mapatungan ang buong space.
ill give you a ring later once i finish my trip

Per special request of JojoD818, let me post pics of the spikes of the Focal Maestro Utopias, including their beautiful box and wrenches. High-end talaga! Na-intriga si JojoD818.

Wow 

iba ka talaga sir Mark.. spikes pa lang pamatay na.. 

[streetsmart]

D ko naman ginagamit kasi once you install them, you can't move the speakers unless you have 4 people. 

Gusto lang makita ni JojoD kasi sabi niya, sa description ko raw, baka mas mahal pa ang spikes sa kanyang monoblock power amps, e kinaya naman ng monoblocks nya na pakantahin ang Utopias ng malakas! Ang taba pa ng tunog!

hehe, when i saw the case, i thought may freebie na cuban cigars pag bumili ng focal maestros.  

i told sir mark, tulungan ko siyang ikabit yung spikes, basta siya ang taga buhat at kalso ng 250lbs maestro niya. bwahaha. sabi niya, he will just stick to the current wheels that the maestros are installed with.

Matindi yan set of spikes ng maestros mo sir Mark, talaga naman mukhang mas mahal pa yan sa monoblocks ko eh. Sa hindi nakakaalam kung ano ang Focals ang iisipin laman niyan Cuban cigar or vintage gun. 

Lagot ka nga lang pag ginamit mo yan sir Mark, heavy yun mga maestros!

Mukha ngang kawawa ang monoblocks mo kapag tinabi mo sa Maestro. Ang nakakagulat lang ay kinaya nya pakantahin ng super lakas ang higanteng Maestro!

Ayoko talaga gamitin ang spikes. Mahilig kasi ako magkalikot. Maya-maya, binabago ko pwesto ng speaker. E kapag may spike na, immobile na talaga!

Masipag talaga yan monoblocks sir Mark, sobrang gala niyan eh from Gallos to Dynas to VA to Maestros!  Ang lamig pa kaya napagkakamalan tuloy na Class D hehehe... Parang may Peltier device sa loob hahaha!

Ok naman yun wheel type niya, even with that ang hirap pa din ilipat ng pwesto. Sa bigat ng Maestros pag nag spikes ka sir baka bumaon na din yun sa flooring 

[Cjtjader]

 Hanep sa packaging!!!


Layas talaga yang lintek na monoblocks na yan!!hahahahah At ang gusto pa eh magpa-kanta ng mgpa-kanta

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na Class AB sila. Hindi kasi umiinit, kahit bumabayo na ang Maestro. Siguro nga, meron silang built-in ref, ung maliit lang.

For the record Class AB sila sir Mark hahaha!

PART 1

I apologize for the lateness of this Sir Mark,

I still cannot seem to resolve why the pictures shown are so small.  Mike C and Sir Eric (Hebrew) have been gracious enough to have tried to have helped me but this is long past due, so I decided to post what I could.  Please bear with the images captured as, my hands were shaking on some shots, this was before our gracious host lent me a tripod.

The date, March 19, 2011.  Agenda for that day Audio EB/get together.

As always it was all great to see y'all.


When I first arrived I believe I caught Sir Mark listening to some Cream/Eric Clapton.  He was busy reading this:

I think it is testament that the love for this hobby is also the never ending pursuit for knowledge related to this hobby.

Focal Utopias in all it's glory!

From the Right




Guess this says it all.

From the middle...





Would you believe Sir Mark "dreams" of a bigger center channel?

Spyro Gyra could not be more palpable coming out of these babies...




Would you believe these are side speakers!!!  Others would only dream to have these singing in the front!



Power Extreme!!!



Sir Mark tinkering



That's about it for now.  Will post more pictures soon....

Wala problema yan. Isama mo lang si kagawad Iiinas at si Xxxyzledge. Mas mukha silang Vietcong. Sila ang titirahin.

[Armz316]

Wow! awesome set up Streetsmart! Very very nice, very neat ang hometheater mo.
great job and well done. Thanks a lot for showing us. Just would like to ask,
did you have your speakers calibrated? Aside from the video. How much does it cost
to have yuor speakers calibrated if you don't mind my asking. Thank you and God bless.

[streetsmart]

Yes, both my audio and video are professionally calibrated. Libre. Ako kasi gumagawa.  

I have a complete set of professional calibration equipment for audio and video, not the best but pretty good. I do my own calibration.

It's pretty expensive to get a competent pro to calibrate your system. If you want, send a PM to @alvinthx2. He's very good at both video and audio.

[streetsmart]

Yup. Google mo ang Focal Viva Utopia.

Pero d pa naman agad ko bibilhin.
