Just curious how op knows it's the speakers that are underperforming? What amp is used? Maybe amp cannot drive the Focals to their max. I heard them once off a krell integrated and they did not strike me as wimpy. Not sure what of similar size would necessarily be better in that regard. Something bigger may be needed. How about adding powered subs? That would take things up a level or two.
Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF?
Looking to upgrade from Focal Profile 918s to something more muscular, but they can't be a ton bigger or uglier. Running with Halcro MC70 and can devote two 200 watt channels to each speaker, also with a REL R528 sub. Any suggestions? Totem Earth and Metal are appealing, but pricey.
