Im thinking of getting the tweets and mids of either brax or focal be. which would you recommend? (Is hertz Mille as good as these two? or better?)

My system:

Tweets/Mids = ?
Midbass = Dynaudio 8"
Subs = JL 12w7
Amp (tweets) = Audison VRx 4x110w (same as mids)-4 channel
Amp (mids) = Audison VRx 4x110w (same as tweets)-4 channel
Amp (midbass) = Audison VRx 2x160w
Amp (subs) = Audison VRx 1x500w
HU = Alpine w502e (equiv to w505 in USA)- Im from Philippines
Proc = Alpine H701

Note:

- Vehicle : 2004 Ford Escape
- 3 way active setup
- I want my tweeter / mids to be as small as possible that being a small tweeter and a 3" mids
- Will be putting tweets/mids in pillar
- SQ : I love laid back sounds, sweet, warm
- Play jazz / pop

Follow-up question: If I use this system to watch DVD movies, would it be safe to use dome midranges like the brax? Or would it be easily damaged by the sudden burst of gun firing, sound effects, etc. Will the Focal be tweeters be safe too? I sometimes want to turn up the volume...

 

I would stick with Dynaudio over either of those 2!

 

vifa tweeters with a scan speak mid will be a warn laid back sound.. as you describe

or if you want something with a little more life you can look at Hybrid-audio.com Look at the L1v2's and L3's.

 

Run the T/S with your installation considered or you are playing a guessing game...

 

Consider throwing Morel into that mix just to confuse you even more. Morel ® Loudspeakers

 

for the kind of sound you want...Morel, Scans, or Dynaudio. Focal is much brighter.

 

I have not heard nor seen a Brax driver in the US (I am sure there are some...) I am also sure sight unseen it is a quality product
Focal is always a high quality product, it is dynamic and it goes as loud as you would want it to (and then a bit louder too). Their Be frequency range goes well past your hearing limits ( I think they extend into the microwave range...) I am not sure they would be a great match with the Dyns. The Be is a polarizing speaker you will either love of hate it, audition carefully as it is a significant investment. But it is an awesome piece of technology and it really does set a high level of resolution (reminds me of the TLR)

 

If you like the Focal sound, you will love the Be series.

The Dyns are also very special, they just sound right, natural and how music should!

 

Would anyone know what is the recommended Highpass of the a) Focal Be 3" mids b) Brax (Dome) Mids ?

Im coming from a seas 4" Mids and i cut it at 260HZ High pass. Im sure the Brax cant go that low (maybe around 600hz) and the Be being only 3" might only make it upto 450hz? Im not sure though and i cant find the answer on their website/manual.

 

Joms.
