I paid $445.00 US (includes shipping) but my refund will be finalized early next week. The first sign is the serial number 6KP-SN:15B002196 and just looking at the crossovers, very well done, they just don't have the quality look. All I can say is Focal America was impressed with the pictures I sent.

These are the ones I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5822263147

it must have cost a fortune to make fakes as good as that. You really don't know what you're getting these days. I wonder if I can get a fake Ferrari that looks as good?

Counterfeiting has been the largest growth segment of the world economy over the last ten years. Check your Viagra!!

^^^ That is a better than retail price from a authorized dealer who can of course provide you with real honest to god Focal speakers and of course warranty service as well.
