It seems, from price, that these companies are all competing in the same market space. As I don't have dealers for some of these I'd like any opinions, etc. please. For example the Diamond S600a, the Focal 165KP, the CDT ET-62i, and the Hybrid Legatia L61-2 all MSRP in the 700 range. All I've had a chance to hear are the Focals. The others do not have dealers in my area, Washington DC metro.
ya heard of Bravox but im not a fan, but about the CDT AND DIAMOND , AND FOCAL, ya they all pretty much in the same leage but id go focal, but i know most people here in the forum would go CDT, but its just different tast and thats all to it bro, so i recommend the 165 a1 access components
just a question ewok, since i've seen you posting quite a bit about focal lately (and please don't take this as offensive....it's just a question).....it's come off that you've never heard CDT before...have you had a listen, and have you given them a chance?
secondly, have you heard diamond? im not going to line the companies up and rank them since everyone's tastes are different....but some of the speakers arent necessarily on a level playing field. just a thought.
no i havent heard of how those CDT sounds like,and i admit, but i heard good stuff about them, but i have listen to diamond though and i think denmarks "dynaudio" has better sq because my cousin has it. well im just gonna stick to my focal 165 a1 access, its not the best but focal comp happens to be my taste
thats cool, most people wouldn't even own up to that so props to you. its cool to rep products you like, just make sure not to bash ones you haven't heard (not saying you did).
sure i have respect for the speakers that i havent encountered and specially if its a high end, and offcourse much respect to that CDT, i wonder how it sounds like, i guess for now its focal, but hopefully in 5 months from now ill upgrade to CDT
i did valet today and i driven some volvo and vw vehicles and was able to try their intalled sound which is dynaudio, but i notice it sounds like crap, i guess those type of vehicle has bad stock unit, needs to be replace like atleast a pioneer hu to take full advantage of the dynaudio speakers
but im so content with my focal 165 a1 access comps, i think ill be using them for a year atleast, i mean i really like the sq, can hear every nuances, detail and stuff, and thats what i want, i usually listen to jazz and it fits me well, maybe my next comps will be boston acoustic
