[QUOTE="JabawokJayUK, post: 7824678, member: 643442"] I checked and the amp was an Onyx (not great) so ditching the idea of using that amp now. I am used to listening to studio monitors in my home (Rokit KRK RP6G2 's + Rokit KRK10s) and I have listened to many Focals of similar size and type so I am leaning towards the Focal's, but now with an additional Focal Amp (Focal FPP 2100) to run them. I did however read on a forum somewhere that the Hertz gear is made in the same factory as the Focal gear and that their is literally nothing between them other than price and brand, but as I have not been able to confirm it, I think Focal is the right way to go for me. The signal is going to be cleaned up very well by the AudioControl LC2i and that Focal amp will give me greater dynamics and frequency response than a cheaper model, so that tallied with the adjustable crossovers for the Performance speakers should give me enough trim on the top end to stop it sounding harsh without having to add a parametric EQ into the mix.
