I did not state that Boston are not good, in fact they are good but all I'm saying is that Focals are a level higher. Most audiophiles will agree with me.Focals speakers are a lot more detailed in sound.They also make $100k+ speaker systems for home audio which they incorporate some of that technology to their car audio speakers but due to the car's atmosphere & home's atmosphere, you will never get the same quality as home audio.

I also use to like MB Quarts because they are well built,can withstand alot of abuse,sounds great & tremendous midbass but after they sold out to RF, it's just a turnoff.Also the fact that almost everything is made in China now so quality definately went down some.MB Quart does sound a little bright though.
