New blog post: Living with Focal Speakers

@helomech  While not perfect,  I think the modern Focal tweets have improved significantly since you remember.

I suppose that depends on the specific tweeter in question. But the modern ones I was referring to, as used in the Aria line, are actually a regression from the old JM Labs designs.

When a manufacturer offers six performance tiers of speaker, they can put only so good of drivers in the middle range products without impeding sales of their flagship designs. It’s a marketing strategy that works for Focal but ultimately results in a rather poor value for the end customer.

Not that modern, but ultrasonic resonances like that could be euphonicnd, when pointed in the direction I suggest, quite pleasant.
