[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8859597, member: 689267"] I've used Focal drivers in my home systems for 30 years until they quit selling the individual drivers a few years back. Those are worth what they asking, close ($650-$700, used) but there is a caveat... As others have alluded to, what you feed them is paramount. With increased clarity and articulation, feed them marginal source material and these speakers are going to expose weaknesses in your system, not make weakness sound better. Properly set up, and fed correctly, they are outstanding speakers. They excel at very detailed, accurate reproduction of the source material. With the advent of DSP, one can take them to levels unattainable prior. If I were in the market, given that I have a high-end system built around sound quality, (and they were closer to $550) I'd probably spring for these. [/QUOTE]
