So clear, so good

I got the Focal PS165's a week ago and have them hooked up to a JBL GTO series amp pushing 75W RMS per channel.

Prior to owning the PS 165s, I was using Alpine type R woofers with tweeters from Focal's 165vb. The improvement on both ends with the PS 165 is very noticeable. These are very, very clear speakers and are definitely worth the money.

The woofer puts out amazing sound. I mainly listen to electronic music, and never before have all the different sound elements been so distinctively clear. I can turn it all the way up (granted with the gains set conservatively) and hear no distortion. I also noticed much better mid bass from my previous speakers.

The tweeter is also great. My previous tweeters from the 165vb sounded pretty sweet, but the ones on the PS165s are significantly better. That is surprising because the PS165 is merely supposed to be the successor to the 165vb. Still though, listening to these speakers does produce a little bit of fatigue. I had to tune down the tweeters a notch. The fatigue is worth it for me, but it might not be for some.

All in all these are excellent component speakers and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who appreciates clear sound.
