Focal Polyflex 165 HC

Price Paid:  $99.00 from EBAY

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Focal 165HC

Strengths:
Honest high end sound. Very revealing. Flat response. High Efficency

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
Extremely good for the money. Sounds remarkably like Focals high end products. Very, very smooth and revealing, if you can find these coaxes at a good price, you will not be disappointed. I also installed Focals 165H components in the front (they are also great), but could have easily used the 165HC for front/rear without sacrificing sound quality. VERY RECOMMENDED!
