Thanks for all the help guys, also one more thing, what would you compare the Iridiums with in the Focal line?

Utopias I suppose since they are Focal's high-end line, but I highly doubt they sound anything like the Iridiums.

^^^Yeah, I've never heard the Cantons, but I heard from a guy that they sound good. So I'd go with Cantons.

Ive had a set of Cantons (Pullman 2.16's) about 7-8 years ago. I recommended them to a friend of mine when I was systemless for about 5 years and he loves them. Although he had to search all over the GTA and sorroundings to find a pair.

I have recently got the Utopia 165W3(raws) and will see the difference when they are installed. Although they will be in a totally different car and an active 3 way setup this time not a passive 2 way. Loved the Cantons as their tweet is to die for(imo). If the tn's dont do it for me then i will probably see about getting a set of Canton tweets again.

Thankfully Canton has a canadian distributer again and will be accessible($550-600 is what I was quoted as MSRP for 2.16 Pullman from the distrib). If anyone is thinking of something a little different, run down and take a listen as you wont be disappointed.

I didn't mean that the Iridiums are superior by saying "I highly doubt they sound anything like the Iridiums."

I simply meant that it is unlikely the speakers sound anything alike, and nothing more. I have not heard either set. I interpreted his question as "what is Focal's high-end line?" Therefore I answered that, along with saying it is doubtful the 2 sets sound the same. I think that is a pretty safe statement, no?? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks for the subtle zing though.

And explain it how you want - the way the post is written clearly implies that the Utopias are inferior to the Iridiums.

Again - not that I care, as I own neither.
Actually Dukk, maybe you should go back to school and learn English. My exact words were "I highly doubt they sound anything like the Iridiums." This means that the Utopias do not sound like Iridiums. How hard is that to understand? I would not compare speakers I have not heard and claim one is better. I like to think I'm more intelligent than that. However, just to be sure to avoid the wrath of the car audio god Dukk I probably should have worded it "I highly doubt they sound alike." Is that better? Do you understand now? [img]graemlins/jack.gif[/img]

What is your problem anyway. It would seem as though you are looking to pick a fight. You always seem to have some smug arrogant comment to make towards people who aren't a part of your elite west coast clique. Stop being a keyboard commando and grow up.

I am not trying to make enemies here, but I really don't like it when people make such negative comments for no apparent reason [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] If you really don't care, then why comment at all?

Anyway, lets just drop this because it is truly stupid and is going nowhere. Instead, lets focus on more important things, like Calgary bringing the cup north of the border! Go Flames go! [img]graemlins/cf2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
