zach and kellen at dreammediaav are hacks and did a terrible job on my buddy's home theater install in arlington, tx. I would rather use jorge and joe blow than these two sleazebags.
Owner of a pair of Scala Utopias here . Amazing performance ! No regrets with the purchase . Enjoying them everyday . Thank you for the content !
We can only watch in awe
Thanks for the review. Very nice.
Wish I was there to hear those Diablos!! That center is a beast. I bet it's gonna sound tremendous!
LOOKS HUGE!!!!🎉
The packaging disappointed me big time. But I bet these sound awesome! Especially the center…running those full range must me hella fun!
Oh yeah 🚬🍸
It took a long time to setup and get it dialed in with Dirac but in the end I have been happy but not ecstatic. The tweeter is bright so I had to try a few different amplifiers before I finally ended up with a happy end. Lots of time and money to get a great result. If I knew from the beginning this amount of work it would take, I would not have done it.
Dang that center is impressive!
Great video Shane! These speakers are beautiful! 😍
Really? I was going to leave a comment that this was the ugliest center speaker I’ve ever seen.
That's a massive center channel speaker!!
THANKS SHANE 😎🤗👍💚💚💚
So I Run the viva as a lcr in my theater. Paired with sopra surround be surrounds it’s the best theater I have ever had calibrated in my theater. Last speakers I will buy.
Ok, pt 2 coming up. Hey, where u get those light sticks behind u. They look Awesome... 👍
That center speaker reminds me of a boom box from 80s and 90s.
🤣
I agree, not a fan of the look
You sir have the best job in the world
Been searching for years trying to find a review for the Viva’s! Thank you for reviewing the Evo Focals! Please please give us some daily updates!!!!!
Love your channel Shane!!! You do an amazing job!
I run them as a LCR. Last speakers I will own
Hi Shane. I just wondered when the Denon a1h review will drop. I’m awaiting anxiously lol!!
Shane ... still waiting for the full review!!
Any thoughts please for Martin Logan vs focal Kanta on which speaker can play music of all genres but also good with home theater
Just purchased the new ML F200 and still within the return period.
you would have thought bi wire would
be there as a bet its not cheap ...
i love my focal clear head phones ...
You definitely don't want to use any Sanus stand for that speaker. That's way beyond the weight limits of every Sanus stand. I'm a dealer for both, btw. Either get the factory stands @ $1099 ea, or maybe try Target Stands or Sound Anchors. The latter 2 will cost you nearly what the Focal stand would, so it's probably better to just get the factory stand that'll bolt up to the speaker anyway.
Wow that is very nice 🤤👍🏼
when sound demo!!?!?
so the speaker stand comes with the box or do you need to buy it separately?
No
Shane, the ruler shows the width is really 11.5" eventhough the spec. says 12 1/16", likewise, the depth seems to be less than 18" instead of the spec. of 20 1/16", but the video is blur on that frame, how can the Focal spec. be so off?
All I can say is wow
I've been hanging for someone to test the VIVA EVO's, pity you only got a single speaker. This should be awesome!!!
Moving one was an ordeal in itself. Moving three would kill me.
Yes.. Bad ass indeed. They have pulled out all the stops on this one..
Very nice looking speakers Shane. Way, way too expensive for me though Shane. WOW. I agree with your thought process though. Why were those 7k plus speakers not wrapped in a protective cloth like the 18k center channel? I also have a problem with speakers that play way above the hearing spectrum. Why? The animals outside probably hate it. 🐱🐶 Turn that 💩 down 👇. 😁😂🤣
this has to be the most expensive set of speakers you had in for review, riiiiiiight? :O Bet they sound awesome though!
Focus
At that point why not just get a matching center
Drool..
I like how when measuring the height you went 1" past the speakers edge and then added 1" to what it said (12"-1foot) to get 13". Lmmfao 😂. It's 11" exactly. Not 13.
The only thing that's disappointing to me is the way the grilles mount. I prefer having the grilles off and sadly these look kind of ugly with those spikes sticking out. Not a deal breaker though.
What was the purpose of unboxing this? Not much info about the speaker. Not going to watch another video...
Bye bye 👋
😂
Hey my friend, you got very nice center channel audiophile speaker love them ❤.
I have two channels system, my speakers are focal Stella utopia em evo's . I powered up by Boulder 2160 stereo amplifier and 2110 preamp.
How much were the Viva utopia' s? I am thinking to turn two channels into 5.1 channels for theatre configuration.
How is sound like????
