pioneer revs or focal access

This will be my final comparison before I buy my next speakers. I chose to exempt the rsd's because 70W was too little to make any use of them. So my question is, with 70W, which would you choose? Thanks.

Focal

revs hands down. The low end focals are just terrible imo.

I think the Focals are a little but better IMO, but if you want Focal, I mentioned in another post, that you should consider spending a couple more bucks and get the Polyglass line Focals, they sound alot better than the Access IMO!!

The reason why I like the Focals over the Revs is because its' efficiencies. I'm gonna go ahead and get the Polyglass.

I agree, that is unless you're going to play them at moderate or low volume.

Out of the revs, access, and polyglass, which speaker has a mounting width that's closest to 5 inches?

 

[Gary S 10+ year member]

Do you mean mounting diameter (size of install hole)? - I believe both brands you are looking at require a standard 5" mounting hole for the 6.5" driver.

I also would recommend Revs. Both brands are very efficient.

Oh well, I went ahead and bought the Revs. I didn't really care about the differences anymore. One question though, will mounting the speaker cover onto the speaker cause any rattling or anything to hurt the sound quality? I just think it looks better with the cover on.

The Focals produce a better over all sound quality.

Oh wells, too late. The revs are coming in a few days. I don't think I could've went wrong getting any of them; are so I hope.
