Look up Rainbow Reference if you think those Focal are expensive.

Well.... it comes with a cool stainless steel case, to carry them around (?!?!?!?)

But wow... look at that crossover.

I'd bet my ears can't tell the difference between $4300 component speakers and a $500 set. $4300 better not only have an oral sex attachment as you pointed out, but it better make fresh coffee daily.

You would be pleasantly surprised if you were to compare the two. Especially, with them tuned, crossed, and powered properly. Being an ex-employee of Crutchfield(during college) I have heard many Alpine, JL, Fosgate, and Focal demos.

I will be the first to admit, the Focal Utopia Series are by far the best component speakers I have ever heard. You really can't explain it through writing, how amazing they are.

A song you have listened to a 100000 times and are old of, will sound like a completely different tune with these. They bring out notes you have never heard and truly make you understand why they Focal is "the spirit of sound".

None of this is overly dramatic, those components are literally no joke and would please even the most particular audiophile.
