[QUOTE="zako, post: 8159789, member: 629735"] I think there are great for the money if you run the active with a sharp crossover slope on the tweeters (like 12-24dB at 5000HZ or higher). Right now I tun HAT Imagine active with active crossovers provided by the Pioneer DEH-80PRS head unit. However, I never fully liked HAT Imagine speakers with the stock passive crossovers. Almost certainly, the Focal PS165 are _very_ similar to the HAT Imagine. The woofer cone is made from paper, and the tweeter is very high resonance (like 3000Hz or so) using only a 1st or 2nd order passive crossover. In this setup you want to be able to set a high pass crossover for the tweeter at 5000Hz or maybe higher with a sharp slope. Basically, both, Focan and Imagine, will sound great with active crossover and a lot of tuning. I'd pick JBL MS-62C to run with the stock passive crossovers. [/QUOTE]
