what do you like better for a 2piece component speaker? also a good rear speaker ... thanks...

 

well depends on the line. cheapest dyn's vs top of the line focal? or top of the line dyn's vs focal polyflex?

 

equal lines.... price dont matter..

 

neither - horns

BTW, let your own ears answer the question...

 

never heard of dynaudio, but i love my focals. Would highly recommend them to everyone. I have the Focal Utopia 165W bi-amped and running 105W rms to each woofer and tweeter. it sounds awesome. I would highly recommend a eq though.

I originally had the 165H's and those were great speakers. Put them through hell and back and never had a problem with them. My gf has them and she hasn't had any problems. the new Access line is supposed to be really good if you are on a budget.

 

hmm...personally i would go with dynaudio but i've heard both and i like the sound better and dont bother with rear speakers.

 

I personally dont like either.....not trying to change subject ......but ilke my diamond s600a's with my 300.4 jl amp

 

diamonds are good too

Diamonds are not my cup of tea Unless of course they are the old ones built in Germany by Eton...

and before you ask, yes, I owned a pair of Hex S600s comps...

 

Not to get off topic but ive fryed 2 sets of Diamond Hex's tweeters. ( 150 to the x over)

 

dynaudio...their mid drivers are great.

 

****.
Let me school you folks.

Dyn only has ONE line unlike Focal.
Only the Utopia can be compared to the Dyn.

The 2 lines have a distinctively different sound.

yes and NO. The diamond HEx are not up to snuff with utopia or the DYN, Unless they are the Etons, which Diamond no longer makes. The diamond Hex of today blow, literally.

Yes, that tweet does not handle power and high volume well. I had their mid blow out. That was fun.

Yes they are. The dyns offer a more accurate and realistic sound as opposed to the utopia. But they are flatter thenthe utopia, the focal have a more lively more aggressive sound, but they are not as real as the dyn.
The flat sound of the dyns can be compensated with a good install and good equipment matching.
all in all it boils down to personal opinion.
Personally I say go Dyn. fantastic set.

 

The Utopia's are an awesome sounding set of speakers-Myself , i lean towards Diamond
The Polk/MOMO's pack a good punch too............

 

type r 6x9's work well

dynaudio work best though

 

dynaudio 240 gt's good?
