I still remember buying these last holiday season for 320$. Apparently I wasn't the only one who couldn't handle that 'metallic' spike in the treble. (alien.top)

To the Elegia owners out there who still have and enjoy theirs; I'm very jealous.

They have awesome low end, amazing detail across the board, pleasant mids, superb build and feel, but that weird, tinny, treble spike just ruined them for me.

Was it an issue of being priced too cheap to uphold Focal standards, an honest swing and a miss, or are my ears being overly critical?

I still have mt Focal Elegia and love them, but only listen to them using the Dekoni Custom Pads, they were originally called the Dekoni Stellia pads. The pads really changes the sound in a positive way. They do a great job a giving you a nice bump on the low end, and removing the edge on the high end. If Focal would ship them with these pads, it would make them a must buy for a lot of people, with no EQ needed.
