I am a DIY guy so I like to build them if I can.
Focal Auditor RCX-130, just a measly 5'25 inch driver, nothing really fancy, but are made by Focal.
Easily did 30hz and above on bass, amazingly crisp and clear sound all for 65 quid for a pair.
They were used in a DIY Bluetooth speaker I made for work. Nothing fancy again.. all sound, not much on looks, bit of fun.
Sadly tonight the build was dropped from a height and one of the speakers fell out bending the actual basket, yet the amp and speakers worked fine.
So I am going to rebuild it but with larger drivers because the amp is actually too powerful for these drivers, so tonight I put them on full bore, bass all the way playing Young Jeezy Put On, some Bass Mekanik etc.. below links.

I wanted to blow them for fun! since I am rebuilding anyway... That never happened... I could not believe how much the drivers were moving, yes it was not as clear, these are 50w RMS drivers, but they never gave out, I did smell the coils... They smelled but they never blew, literally had it on max for around 30 minutes on seriously bass heavy songs and these drivers just kept on going. They even still sound completely normal on normal listening levels.
That to me is possibly some of the best speakers I have owned in terms of build quality and power handling.
