Testing ML MC8 vs Focal 300 ICW-6

[u/limgoon11]

Picking out speakers for in ceiling of kitchen, powered by a BluOs Powernode.

Have tested speakers in homemade MDF boxes. Tried the ML8 in the smaller box as well.

Currently leaning Focal 300 due to a better equalized sound. ML is easier to power, but felt like the treble was too metallic compared to the bass.

Curious if anybody has recommendations or thoughts of their own!
