Are these worth it?
Hey all, I have an opportunity to p/u a set of Focal components 165 V3E for $375. First are they worth the price slightly used? Second are they any good? I have never had any experience with this brand, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Focal sells some of their speakers for over $1500. They're usually a good buy.

Well change of plans due to unexpected financial constraints. Grabbed JL Audio VR650 CSi new for $200. They list on Crutchfield for $349. Anyone have any idea what these are like?
Again many thanks to all who have helped.

I agree totally - VR650 CSi isn't all that good at all but thats my opinion!

Yep... i've got Hertz up front.... great speaker.... not quite as good as Focal, but the price is much easier to swallow.
