Focal XS Satellite Speakers

I just purchased these babies 2 days ago. I have owned every brand in my 24 year life span from Sony, Bose, Pioneer, Klipsch, etc. I expected for the price tag an absolute flawless subwoofer and I must say it sure lives up to the billing. It is a beast that hits accurately when it should, does not distort, or prolong the agony of fine listening. It has quality bass and this is what you will get when you buy the Focal XS subwoofer. The 2 speakers not only look systematically integrated with my 24" iMac by design, but completely and utterly enhance the exterior beauty with the pure luxury of clear, crisp high's that I have never heard from a computer speaker. Make no mistake about it if you own an iMac these are the speakers for you. You cannot go wrong. Sure the high end Focal's sound incredible also, but you will dish out five more benjamin bills for a minor improvement in sound quality and the design is lacking. The Bang & Olufsen Speakers aren't bad but they simply do not have the proper design for quality output. They cannot fulfill the potential of their monetary value. The Focal XS are without a doubt, most definitely the best speakers out there based on price, sound quality, subwoofer performance, and enhancing the iMac computer setup. They are the elite. Buy them. …More

I recently got a pair of these Focal XS speakers and even though I knew that Focal was a professional speakers brand I was very impressed with the detailed sound of these ones when using USB in my iMac, I had a pair of HK Soundsticks and could lisentened both side by side: the soundsticks sounded dull comparing with the Focal, the Soundsticks sound good but they lack mid and mid-bass sounds so the detail is lost since they only have full range speakers for mids and highs, but in the other hand the Focal XS performs amounts of richness mids and detailed music and I can now hear instruments and notes in my music that I couldn't hear with other speakers!, the electric guitars, piano, voices, drums sound brilliant and accurate, the image of sound is clear you can close your eyes and feel that you are in from of the playing band, the highs are clean and well defined and doesn't mix up with the mids like almost full range speakers because the Focal has a mid and a tweeter speakers in each monitor basket, bass sounds are clear and sharp without being overwhelming.
Focal XS is definitely a "most have" for an audiophile …More
