I can't recommend anyone, but I would use an authorized dealer. I have found people selling at what seems to be a great price, but is actually not the newest model. I believe Focal's website cautions about fakes.
Good luck,

Be aware of the fakes going around. They are damn hard to tell the difference. If your choice is Focal, then go with an authorized dealer. I bought my setups from my stereo shop I've been dealing with for over 15 years. He gave the 4 sets to me for their cost + 5%.







Hope this helps.
