[QUOTE="alteraudiousa, post: 2479778, member: 564560"] the pioneer to me has a weird feel to the sound like the Kenwood Excelon XXV components. Its somewhere in the high midrange to highs where it has an odd sound I can't describe but know i don't like. The speakers are nice but hard to keep composed at different volumes especially when using a little more power than it likes. With my setup right now I can go up to about 80% volume and my system has the same characteristics, it just get louder. The Pioneers and well most sets change their overall feel at about 60% volume either emphasizing the mids or in the pioneer's case the highs(mids and vocals) became a little overdone and exagerrated. Focals fall into the same place. For a set of speakers found that are offered in most shops and all and for being made from a "big" manufacturer they are a good set, sure gives an alternative to the JL's, but I don't think they will hold up to some DIY or certain smaller companies sets in the same price range. I would say they're about the same as the HD's maybe a little more naturally sharp tweeter(which I don't care for too much) but midrange is the same but the HD can handle more power and keep a better composure.
