Default Question on Focal Speakers

Difference between V1 and V2, how far off are the V2 from the K2 power? Difference between KP and KF?
Thanks,
Brandon

hm... thought you were gonna ask overall thoughts... my take on them is they are generally nice and rather musical... the tweets can be a bit harsh, but I suspect that is a tuning issue.

As for your specific qx, can't help... sorry.

I love the focal speakers, just didnt know what the difference is. Should I go v2 or k2? Im not installing rear speakers, just the fronts since there will be a sub.

I have listened to the polyglass, kevlars, and utopias at cartoy's a few years back.. The polyglass didnt suit me at all, it got very white noise when you played them loud. Kevlar was a mark better and Utopias were awesome.

This last week I was over at the local shop and they were working on a 02 Z06 with 165 K2P's and they were *awesome*. I am picking my pair up on Tuesday. Pretty pricey ($700) but worth it to me since I like loud and clean music.

Hope this helps a little.

I am a big fan of Focal (shocking). I especially like the Polykevlar line as I feel they will play lower and with a bit more punch in the midbass/midrange than the polyglass will. The Utopia's are awesome as well (and the Be is another world) but to me in a car environment it is tough to appreciate how clean and uncolored they are. More of a home driver IMO.

I do feel that the Polykevlar is worth the extra $$$ over the polyglass line especially in a car without rear speakers which makes the quality of your frontstage shine even more.

G'luck
