    Good but not Great

    • Written by from Adelanto

    I bought these speakers when they were 1000$. They are very good speakers but not worth even the lower price listed now. I'd take the Bose speakers before these any day.

    WARM sound

    • Written by from CARMEL

    I have ended up buying most of the high-end speakers and I love the foCALs. They have some quirks belying their French origin (ridiculously short cables, very sensitive to being plugged just perfectly, else humming--that's why the fifth star is missing) but the sound is beautifully warm and rich. You will be annoyed to find the limitations of your older recordings. Massive, heavy subwoofer that delivers (but shorter than the sony). I had them for a month and have not noticed "wearing in."

    Very Good Speakers !!

    • Written by from Willingboro

    I returned the Bose MM's for these, dont get me wrong the Bose MM's are amazing speakers, But i found i needed a set of speakers that could connect to my TV and my Macbook Pro, and do it with style. I picked these based on reviews ive read, and on Focal's reputation. Im was not disappointed , Great Sound, decent Remote control, USB input for Macbook Pro, Aux input for my TV, plus it works with my Iphone 1st gen, and looks great next to my TV.

    Bright, clear, deep detail

    • Written by from FOREST HILLS

    These speakers are remarkable. They hilite detailed secret sounds. Tops are bright and quick. Lows are calm and deep. Mids push their way to the front of the crowd. Really a wonderful moment to experience in person.

    No surprise, the speakers have a couple of serious cables. Managed to make their reach work - the length was fine even though they seemed too short at first glance.

    All told, I wish I hadn't waited. Here's a reason to close your eyes and turn an ear.

    Great speakers, incompatibility issues with 24" LED display

    • Written by from Tacoma

    Great speaker system for your Mac and the best looking to date. Probably the best sound I've heard from a 2.1 set.
    Be warned though if you own an Apple 24" LED display and plug the speakers into the USB ports on the back of the monitor, it won't sync your iPod. Appears to be power-related, as it works fine when plugged directly into your Mac or a powered USB hub.

    Just huge

    • Written by from Valaurie

    Okay, if finally you'd got real sound from your computer?
    This is it, works flawlessly with sound manager, charges your iPod or iPhone, syncs them blazingly fast. Astonishing design, amazing sound, what else ?
    This is what I was waiting for.

    Small speakers but big sound

    • Written by from St Etienne

    Great sound ! Easy to install and setup. Just a bit expensive.
