[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8113276, member: 645990"] Hey guys, So I got some Focal PS165 components (off eBay) a couple months ago. Theres a possibility they may be fakes but they certainly don't look or sound like it. Anyways today I noticed a rattle coming from the right side woofer when it was playing a little bass heavier stuff. Took the speaker out after work and it would seem that the rattle was being caused by the glue holding the cone to the spider was coming apart slightly. Anyways I'm going to see if there are any local shops around that would be able to fix this issue, but if not I may need to replace them and I'm not really sure what to go with. The replacements have to sound just as good if not better than the current ones. And if these truly were genuine Focal speakers then that probably wont be too cheap. I can't find many speakers comparisons to the PS165's. A couple sets that I have looked at so far that got good reviews are the Polk MM6501 Hertz HSK165XL I know the Hertz set would most likely be even better than my Focal's, but not sure if I really wanna pay the $500 price tag on em lol. The polks are less than half the price of the Hertz set but would they sound as good as the Focal's? This is assuming the Focal's are genuine. Amp that's running them is an AQ 200.2, so plenty of power for pretty much anything. And no the Focal's aren't blown, just loose glue on the right speaker. I'm not too worried about the price of the replacements as I only ended up paying like $100 for the Focal's after accusing the seller they were fake cuz there was no serial number on them. But would still like to keep the costs down if at all possible. [/QUOTE]
