Brother has a set of Focal 165K3s.. he spent shitloads on them.. they're the 3 way Poly Kevlar's I think.. Anyways.. Yeah.. they sound ****en amazing.. I reckon the entry level 165As would sound great.. Next time I see them I'll have a listen and get a few 'professional' opinions.

SuFz :badgrin:

The Focal 165A's retail for $379, the 165KP's retail for $730. We do them for cheaper - PM me for details.

Focal do make nice speakers but they only suit certain types of music genre's as they're quite refined and the tweeters can be a touch to harsh. If you listen to genres like RnB, hip hop, heavy metal, techno etc I would suggest you audition brands like Boston, Morel, Hertz, JL Audio, Image Dynamics and Kicker before Focal. ;)

But that is just my opinion.
