    Well, it looks like I got screwed on eBay on my speaker purchase so I'm in the market for speakers, AGAIN.

    What do you all think about the items listed above? I can get all for about the same price, 450-500, new.

    Help please

    Thanking you in advance
    Mike

    Well, I like DLS (cuz i have them) but focal seem to be more popular out of the two. I suggest you go to a car audio store near you that sell the two and listen to them to see which ones you like the best. Its all personal preference. Your ears are the best judge.

    cccullen - thanks unfortunately, I have several Focal but no CDT or DLS dealers in the area.

    I've heard that CDT's are very good as well. How do you like the sound of the focal? If you really like the sound of the focals then i'd say go with them. I've heard very good things about them and I've heard a lot of set ups with them. The have very clean sound.

    I agree DLS is a good choice
    I have the Nobelium 6.2 front stage and reference 964 6x9's in rear
