Focal doesn't make a Comp set in that price range. Step it up to about $300 and you can get into some Focal Access comps.

I've got some JL Xr650CSi. I bought them on sonicelectronix with a 1 year warranty for like $350 or so.

I like them, given they are my first aftermarket set of components. I'm happy they sound clear, midbass keeps up with my sub. I'm not sure in the ears of an audophile which would sound better though.

i wasnt talking about buying the iridiums... I just meant that all i have heard of DLS is about their Iridium line...

Just wondering where the R6 would rate compared to the CDT JL-XR's... At this point im leaning towards the JL, although i may be able to get an R6 for 20-30 more.

i think you should suggest comps that are in your budget or raise your budget. the R6s lists for around 250 but the IRs are up to 1200

i have the jl xr 6.5 comps. the tweeter is very slightly harsh at first, but on the crossover you can tone them down by 1.5,3,4.5 or up by 1.5dbs. once i put them at -3 db im lovin em. ive also heard it is important to keep the tweeter close to the mid on this set becuz of a steep crossover. ive done this also, in the kick panel, and the results are great. definitely worth the money if you can mount them properly. hope this helps

What do you guys think about DLS R6A's? I hear good things about Iridiums... Would you say they at the level of the JL's and CDT's i mentioned?

Who told you that, MTX? lol. Even entry level Focal is a well built speaker.

If you buy JL online, you won't get any warranty. If you buy anything from an authorized dealer, you usually get a year warranty.

I personally have never heard any of those three, but judging by their other products, either CDT or JL.

by DevaughnB » Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:36 am

are they any good at that price? I had heard that entry leve focal was not that good?

by evo_from_hell » Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:31 am

You could also take a look at Focal comps.

Yea ive seen great prices on the JL's... Can anybody who has heard these speakers describe any difference in characteristics at all? So far it looks like The JLs are the way to go? How important is the warranty for these kind of products? I could get the CDT for that price at an authorized dealer...
