Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
As a brand overall, Focal, i would rate higher than JL.. But obviously a pair of $600 JL splits will out perform a basic $200 pair of focal COAX.. But of course sound is completely subjective so brands and models are only as good as they sound TO YOU..
Theres always many quality brands to listen to; Focal, Morel, Diamond, Boston Accoustics, Crescendo, Rainbow, Dynaudio, but again theyre only as good as they sound to you..
