The Focal populates this space with tonality and realism that isn’t unsettled at any point. The sparse opening to Jim James’ State Of The Art is delivered with his distinctive vocals beautifully defined against the no less tonally appealing piano. As the track builds towards its crescendo, the Focal adds each layer without sounding strained or congested. There is an effortlessness to what it does that can make rivals sound flawed by comparison.

The joyously ballistic Girl With No Face by Allie X is a head-nodding surge of electronic power in the hands of the Hadenys. It is fair to argue that it doesn’t have quite the same out-and-out bass extension as some rivals, but it would be a stretch to call it bass light. It’s also usefully forgiving of poor recordings.
