I did send a note through ebay asking if the serial numbers could be verified and if so, I would buy them. That was two days ago and no reply....

I say the words speaker system, but thought the singular "speaker" was a typo, you may be right, selling half.....

Most the time the counterfeit Focals are the K series. Access is there basic line so it may be legit. Only thing, Focal usually has a 3 year warranty, 90 days from Ebay.

That's not SO far below a legit outlet price -- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...al+165+A1.html

Could be the real deal.

True but with a 90 day warranty. But I still haven't gotten an answer about serial numbers, so I would assume it is "too good to be true."
