Just left 4 different Audio shops. Had a chance to listen to them all of them. I asked about just about every speaker out there and every audio tech I spoke to said go with the Focal's. Yes, a little more expensive but the sound quality is unmatched. So I picked up the 690CAQ 6x9's and the 165CA1 6.5's. Will be placing my Polk speakers up for sell over the winter.
