[QUOTE="Noctis, post: 8695592, member: 678748"] Yeah I compared the other not damaged on perfect condition tweeter that came with my utopia no 6. With this “replacement” I did all kind of tests like switching the balance left and right, with all kinds of music and I even disconnected the mids from the cross over to only focus on the tweeters, and no matter what, the one that came with my utopia set with the “made in France” mark always sounded better, sharper, cleaner and the super high frequencies sounded better also. So I contacted directly to focal and they said it was and authentic product. So I was going crazy not knowing what was wrong I even did a “break in” for 40 hours at mid volume. And it was the freaking same. So I had to dig online to see what was happening and the short answer is I got scammed. It was actually a Legit focal beryllium tweeter but from a much cheaper set of speakers from focal called 165w-rc. So basically First one is called TBe, second one is called TB 872. On the spec sheets provided by Focal the both seem very similar but the TBes are double the price. But for a really good reason the TBe are superior in every way. So I just asked for a refund on eBay because on the item description clearly said MODEL TBE. So be wary!!! I don’t even know if I’m getting my money back [/QUOTE]
