Here's a review of a Focus Audio speaker, the F8..not be confused with Focal.

Anyone in Toronto O hear Foucs speakers? What your thoughts? How would they compare to Paradigm/PSB?

Did you look at the measurements? For $2900 the response is a little ragged and the off axis response falls of starting in the 2kHz range.

The curves for Paradigm's Studio 60s don't fair any better than Focus Audio on off axis response as shown below.

http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/measurements/speakers/paradigm_studio60_v5/ Granted its $700 cheaper

And the Harbeth Monitor

much worse and costs almost 2x that of the Focus.

I don't think its any more ragged than alot of good speakers out there.

If someone listens to these, pay attention to the low end.
The review says:
"the speakers’ twin 5.5" woofers offered solid, punchy bass at 41Hz"
But that doesn't show on the FR chart. It looks like it starts to roll-off around 150Hz (though gradually).
