Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.

@kokakolia, I’m going to leave this here for you:

Kevin is a major US Focal dealer. The speaker he is speaking about was the entry level a couple of years ago before being replaced with the Chora line. He literally says it’s made in France and he visited the factory. Are you implying they make the drivers in France and then send them to China to be assembled into a finished speaker? I suppose that’s possible but I’d need proof to believe it as I fail to see how that could save them much money.

Anyway, it doesn’t much matter to me which of us has the right of it in the end :) I do agree that companies should be transparent about origin though. Some folks do care.

@prighello for whatever reason this @kokakolia is not a Focal fan (neither am I but I will not speak ill of them) and wants to cast dispersions that they are made in China.

I am guessing he has some affiliation with this OGY line, if not it is an affliction.

It's possible Focal could have drivers/cabinets/crossovers/binding posts ect. made in China for lower end models then they assembled in France which could make it legal to claim "Made in France"

Another vote for the ELAC Vela 403. They blew the doors off of the KEF LS50's they replaced. 

I really enjoy my Tyler T1’s. Very enjoyable and musical.
