Thoughts on Focal speakers?

focal are great speakers. they are bright, but they're up there with boston and etc.
if you're interested in focal, you might be interested in hertz as well. hertz is from italy and is owned by audison. i personally own hertz components and i love them.

Hertz is not owned by Audison, they together are owned by Elettromedia. They are also not nearly as bright/fatiguing as the Focals are.

Just like everything else it is all about component matching and install. Get a smooth amp for the Focals, give them a proper install, and you'll be fine IMO. I don't remember any Focal setup I've heard lacking midbass either.

I have listen to Focals a couple of times in the local authorised dealer. It performs very good on vocals. It gets strong midbass as well. But I don't really like how it sounds. A little bit too warm, not energetic enough for me.

It gets a character. Just may not be everyone's favourite.
