Dynaudio vs Focal


Has anyone compared Dynaudio and Focal speakers in the higher end models? Say $20k and above. I am sure they are both great manufacturers making great speakers, but how would you compare their sound characteristics? Please also state the particular models you have had experience with.

HAving heard both lines though not in a/b comparison, I suspect they both can deliver top notch sound when set up properly in the right room. I like both very much and could probably live with either. Personal preference and synergy with the rest of the system will likely be the key determining factors in deciding between the two.

I think of Focal sound in a similar vein as their French brethren Triangle line, call it the "French" sound, very fast, detailed, and with a tonal balance perhaps slightly more tipped towards the high end.

The Dynaudio sound is articulate and well integrated top to bottom and the tonal balance more towards the warm side.

I am not convinced that Focal is as inherently articulate in teh bass as Dynaudio in general, but I could be wrong there.
