"This stellar performer perfectly orchestrates every aspect of a system’s performance to deliver a powerful, precise and immersive audio experience. Pro-grade calibration tools." - Steve Withers
Focal Astral 16 AV Processor/Amplifier Review - Read More
"Finally, I watched Crimson Peak, which has a fantastically immersive DTS:X soundtrack. The sound design is used with remarkable creativity, turning the titular house into a living, breathing entity. There are sounds of creaking wood and blowing wind that are delivered with absolute precision and clarity. While the sounds of water moving through pipes move around, behind and above you, and these effects are steered with a commanding sense of authority." - Steve Withers
