Why buy anything made in France. As you will find, quality is poor, value is non existent, and service will never happen. Sound? Best to characterized it as 'lazy listening. About two years ago I visited some audio shops in Paris and found French made speakers had terrible sound. I think it is a French thing.
French Speakers?
For sale on this site are a pair of JM Focal Cobalt 806S speakers. I'm interested...but French speakers? Sacre bleu! My demise as an audiophile began in 1992 with a subscription to Stereophile. I remember the great review of the Grand Utopia. But, French speakers? Favorable reviews are had online for the 806S's. An aggressive, bright treble is noted. That's my preference in a speaker, however (one person's "bright" and "hot" is another person's "detailed" and "precise"). Of course, it's all about the midrange as far as speakers and sound reproduction are concerned.
My crux question is this: my musical tastes are rock, pop and female vocals. Has anyone listened to these speakers and does he or she believe they would be appropriate pour moi?
