We now have the Focal Electra 1028Be  and 1008Be on demonstration in the shop. Both of these speakers represent a big improvement in performance on their original counterparts (1027Be and 1007Be). Whereas the old 1007 was clearly behind the old Micro Utopia Be in terms of performance, with the exception of bass extension, we would put the new 1008 clearly ahead in all important areas. So basically more performance than we were getting a year ago for less than two thirds of the price. The Electra 1028 builds substantially on the performance of the 1008 in low frequency extension and ability to scale.

The 1008 is priced at £2,649 for standard finishes, and the 1028 is £4,600.
