what do people think about these, and how do they stack up for the focals, MB and botons of the world?

Depends which lines you're comparing in each brand.

the 5000a in the diamonds, the the focals are the second from the top...the boston, are the non pros and the mb quarts i think are reference

The only Focals I liked were the K2P line. The lower line is very harsh on the highs.

Depends on what type of sound he's going for. DLS Iridiums are nice. Never heard a properly tuned set of Dyns. I didn't like the set of Morels I heard. They sounded too laid back. Never heard X-types.

Maybe one more to listen to would be JL ZR series components.

I'm actually going to replace them with a set of DLS speakers from AVINCAR. So, I'll keep you posted on the results!

At lower volumes, when I have the windows rolled up they sound pretty good. Midbass is a little weak. Here's the bad news: in the summer I love driving with the sunroof open which increases the road noise. When I turn up the volume to compensate, the highs get quite harsh and shrill sounding.

So, bottom line, they are decent, but not worth the cost. I love Dynaudio speakers (I've had them in a past car), but wanted to try the DLS's because I didn't have the capital for the Dyn's.
