Good evening,
I am the owner of Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers and a Bose AE2 headset, and I am very, very happy with both.
I want to buy wall speakers for a maximum of €250.
I immediately looked at Bose because a satisfied customer is a returning customer! So I took a look at these...

But then I thought, why not change while I’m at it! And I saw these speakers...

My question is simple: Which product offers the best value for money between these two?
Thank you in advance for your answer!

Hi,
You won't have much trouble with the Bose, the brand only provides the power of the speaker... the comparison will mainly be based on what you "like".
For my part, I would choose Focal because:
The Focal have much more volume (larger speaker) so they can definitely go lower in the bass, and a very good sensitivity for satellites (91dB) a 5Wrms amplifier per channel is more than enough in a 40m² living room.

I've noticed that these speakers lack bass (from Bose), but I wasn't very familiar with other brands before looking at the competition... So I will direct my choice towards Focal.
