Focal Drivers

A couple years ago I was in a Phoenix, Arizona audio store called "Celestial AV" which produces their own line of speakers. I was floored by the detail, speed, and liquid midrange on these speakers. All of Celestial's speakers use (or used at that time) Focal drivers.

So my question is, do all focal drivers sound liquid and have the speed and detail I heard, or was this to be attributed solely to an exceptional job by the designers at Celestial?

Also, what speakers companies use focal drivers besides JM Labs? I know RAW speakers have a model "HT1" that uses a ribbon tweeter and Focal midwoofer, but have not heard anything about the performance of the speaker.

Thanks for the input!

Focal OEM's drivers directly only to two companies, Wilson Audio being one of them. The other most of you Agoners have never heard of, so no need to mention. True, the proprietary Focal technology only goes to Focal and there's nothing wrong with that. Aggielaw is far off base with the comment of Focal applying huge markup on their drivers, quite the contrary.

I always find it funny that being the political economic commentary applied to buying product or services of any type. If people only knew what they were saying and more importantly what they were buying!!!
