Focal 165V Slim or Diamond M661

[SMUAlien 10+ year member]

I have a choice to make between the two today. Problem is I will not have a chance to hear either one and just have to rely on what y'all say. I heard the Diamonds once and they sounded alittle bright but good. I have yet to hear the focals but I know they have a good reputation. I have minimum mounting depth so I am going with either one of these speakers. What do you think?

Thanks for the insight.

I would prob lean more towards the diamonds.Thats just an opinion as im not a big focal fan.

I went ahead with the Diamonds. Thanks for the response.

I don't care which one you get, as long as I don't have to put them in.

I've heard Focals before. I like Focals, I know they're good. Don't know much about the Diamonds. I'd go with the CDTs or the Focals myself.

CDTs

Diamond are bright and fatiguing.

Which ones would get by on 45 watts per channel best until I can upgrade my amp? Which have the best, tight mid bass?

Well Kurt you don't have to put them in. Seeing as you're my friend though I would appreciate the help. But since it's such a hassle to you I won't bother you with it.

Nick you've only heard the Diamonds for no more than 5 minutes max, there's no way you'd know if they were fatiguing.

Back when they first came out, I listened to them at audio express for a long time. Thats when I didn't like them the first time. Second time they didnt' sound bad, but nothing special.

It's jealous.

And jealous of what? Your ability to pleasure many men at one time?

I'm not the one with 4GB of gay porn on my computer... maybe there is something you should tell your wife.

 

[mudd 10+ year member]

What, to stop letting you on my computer? She already knows.
