[QUOTE="OnYrMrk, post: 1334676, member: 562237"] When I was shopping for my speakers, I looked at Morel, Dynaudio, Focal, Diamond and Boston Acoustic. I had the pleasure to listen to these speakers in a car environment rather than the boards too. The BA's sounded nice, but that was it...just nice. Nothing they had knocked me off my seat. Morel sounds excellent, but the system I listened to was a 6" or 7" Midbass in door, 3" mid and Scan Speak R1 in kicks. Sounded excellent, but I wasn't impressed in the crossover network that the owner had to build for the setup. Mind you my price cap was 1600 dollars. They were right at that price for the raw drivers, the crossovers would have taken me over that price point. The Dynaudio's I listened to were the 360's in a Thunderbird, much like my Mark VIII. I loved the sound of those speakers!!!! Best IMO for the money! But they were right at 1800 and I couldn't justify the extra 200 bucks. But man what smooth sounds eminated from those speakers. I had the displeasure of listening to the Diamond D9's in a Monte Carlo and although they had incredible midbass, the midrange lacked somewhat. Besides, the D9's are only available in a two-way configuration. Then I listened to a friend's corvette with Focal installed. His were the K3P PolyKevlar series. Top of that series line. they met my requirement for price, but at the time I was wowed by the Audison Amps so I decided to go with the KP 2-way's instead. Go with Focal...but be sure to go with the ones that have the TN-52 tweeter or better. I wasn't impressed with the TN-47 tweeter which is why I have ordered the K3P 3-way set. Should be in any day now. [/QUOTE]
