Boston Pro 60's vs Focal 165KF's

[Clean Sound 10+ year member]

I am interested in hearing opinions on the preference between these speakers. They're in the same price range, however, the Bostons require more power, 125rms vs around 80rms. The amp driving these will be the Alpine MRV F345 (75x4) and I am thinking that the Bostons will not run optimally with this power. Therefore, with all things being equal, the Focals would sound better? I had a chance to do a quick comparison in the local Tweeter and I found the Focals to sound fuller which was quite suprising. I am especially interested in a tweeter and mid range comparison as I would probably set the crossover around 100. I recently read the Focal tweeter can be harsh but I heard the same thing about the Pro 60's.

Thanks

I've got the Pro60's running off a Zapco 360.4, rated at 90rms. They sound great, bass is clean, smooth but can push some bass. The tweeters don't sound harsh at all. Best set I've owned.
