Yes we can compare everything, but it only makes sense when we comparing it to personal tastes. And thats is all fun in audioAs for scan speak- I am a big fan of scan speak drivers on medium or low priced priced sytems-they play excelent in this configurations-both home and car instaliations. But this is not the case with Focals. I will not get in technical stuff (lot of time to write here) WHY this hapens. Sonicaly its wise to compare scan speak to Audiotechnology drivers-they both have quite comon design. One disadvantage of comparing Focal to scan speak is that Scan uses exactly the same drivers in car range(only VC resistance diferent- thicker wire or sometimes -double layer ) Focal car drivers range are made specialy for car and they actualy „spoil“sound. WHy? because of You car lovers
you want pump up the power to drivers- and thay design drivers with 4 layers thick and rounded wire, suspension and surounds is stiff and CMS skyrockets together with Fs, excursion is longer thus they increase gap width – eficienty drops dramaticaly. Thats is very bad- becaue W cone slost its most benefits(light mass) As for tweeters scan speak tweeters havee the same rule and car drivers vs home range is almost the same. This is another reason what focal Tbe tweeters sound harsh spizzy and agresive- closed chamber bought compression. But Its small enought to fit most cars instaliations. Unlike scan speak 70000 or even 60000 which have vented chambers. I think nobody in Lithuania had chance to compare theese drivers (homefocal vs home scan speak) mainly because theese drivers not available to public. I have actualy over 300 psc diferent drivers including all new line of utopia III 2009 home version drivers used for ex. in Grande EM speakers costing 180 000usd. Theese drivers performs like no scan speak ever will( and actualy scan speak more and more degrade sound- revelator series was only parial upgrade over clasic series(better higher midrange and better bass,otherwises 18w8545 „kills“ 18w851g from range 100 to 1.2khz hands down ) ,and the samples i tested/used from new iluminator range tell me that they comes not as upgrade but downgrade with increasing price and inscreasing bass) I think Focal can be compared to Accuton drivers, or Magico Nano-tech drivers. and BTW- I do not split amplifiers to tube or solid state tyopes - best solide state amps sounds exactly like best tube amps and vice versa- NATURAL. I have build quite a bunch tube amps with japan tango transformers, western electric tubes, russian tubes, silver foil caps, interstage variuos configurations. good tube amp wil have more liquid midange and more lush in timbre while good transitor amp will sound more tight and tranparent. ANd yes- always amplifier with good specifications and lot of feedback(be it negative or local aplied ) or more than 3 stages will sound much less natural and involving than amp with lower feedback aplied.
But this is not the case with drivers- lower discortion driver will produce better sound for sure. Question only are how to benefit from it without sacrifing other things. I have measured some cars, some SQ competition cars and this data tells me why people using scan speaks,dynaudio and audiotechnology- even with bad implementation(which is arround 95% cars I think unfortunatley ) it will sound decent. Focal will never sound decent with any car amp- it can be brax or even well respected amps like soundstream human reign or any car tube based amp seems on wawe nowits just usualy its marketing tricks for customers. .Its basic-there can not be high end amplification or source in car,mainly because one pole power supply and 12-14 voltage.

Tai liečia ne tik Focal. Ir šitos firmos praras elitinius pirkėjus dar ilgam. Kol kas yra masė vintažinių garsiakalbių už gana logišką kainą ir puikiai skambančių.
