It all comes down to the installation... A set of Panasonic co-axials might sound better if more time is spent installing them...
The crossovers 100% HAVE to match the exact set of speakers you are using. In good quality components, like the Focals, mixing and matching isn't going to work.
Active filtering is a simple and easily adjustable solution.
