For the ultimate upgrade, consider building your system around the Focal PS165FSE component speakers . This French-made kit features Focal’s exclusive Flax cone sandwich construction, which delivers incredibly natural and dynamic sound by combining rigidity for deep bass with lightness for detailed midrange.
