focal vs rainbow

[el_dogster]

lay off of him, he doesn't know he is brand new. Sheesh. Justin will understand.
I've owned the access and Polyglass line of Focal and the access line really just isn't worth the money honestly. The polyglass was a lot better but still, had the focal "harshness," rep with it. I'm used to harsh though because I've grown up listening to Klipcsh speakers so that part doesn't bother me. The detail that the midbass had though was very nice and enjoyable. I can't comment on rainbow products because I've never used them. I only talk from experience //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thanks for the reply...

I am running the Focal Access comps right now in my MDX. They are powered by a Sundown SAX-100.4 using its active crossovers at about 4.5khz. So with about 400 watts going to the set I am happy. I EQ'ed out the bright spots and deadened my doors really well and I think they have a good sound. Maybe a little bit harsh but its easy to deal with when they are running active. They have enough midbass that I can feel it in my seat. I am moving on however as I just ordered some ID OEMs from Hessdawg.
