Hi,
Yea, they're not cheap, but as the saying goes... I have the Focal Utopia Be system in my Esprit mated to a Nakamichi Head Unit and 4X100 Nakamichi Amp. If it were any closer to Carnegie Hall sound, you'd have to buy a ticket...
FOCAL has been making loudspeakers for more than 25 years. It is a French product and consistently among the world's best. They have now branched into amplifiers as well which should also be amazing.
You're not likely to find them available widely as they are cost prohibitive to many buyers and too costly for retailers to inventory.
They make loudspeakers for your home system as well, though you'd need a 2nd mortgage to afford them, still well worth it. Check them out at:
