Focal or Blaupunkt


Hi,

I need to change the speakers on my car, nothing fancy. Taking in consideration that both brands cost about the same...which one do your think it's better....Focal or Blaupunkt ?

Tks.

Thanks a lot for all the replies, I also think that Focal is a no brainer over Blaupunkt....but now I discovered another brand, now from Sweden and at almost the same price level: DLS www.dls.se , does anybody have experience with this brand ?.
This same shop also carries Morel car speakers but they are out of my budget for now.

Thanks again.

...ok, so now the second shop offers a DLS component system for the front and Morel speakers for the rear and just a couple of dollars over the Focal system.
What are your thoughts ?
Searched the car audio mags and it seems DLS is a pretty reputable company, and the speakers and drivers are actually made in Sweden.
So presently my truck is at the shop having DLS installes in tye front and Morel speakers on the back....we'll see how the combo sounds.
I have never heard Blaupunkt, but I can vouch for Focal.
My sister's husband is a car audio nut and he had them in his last car. Sounded very natural, so unlike the usual "glass tinted" car audio.
Mind you, he's a car nut in general....he had Gucci leather installed throughout at the same time.
Little G's and Focal.
Looked and sounded pretty damn cool.
Never heard of DLS, but I do know Morel. The higher end Morel's are really nice, but I would still prefer a Focal setup with good amplification - keep in mind though that I also have JM Labs speakers at home so you know where my loyalties are.
