What is sound linearity? It's the control or balance of the high-mid-low frequencies on low to high volumes.

Still not clear? Think of it this way, a 2way component consist of a tweeter for the high frequencies and a mid-bass for the mid-bass frequencies. The tweeter and mid-bass will now have to work together to produce a good band of mid-range frequencies.
If you have a 3way set of components that comes with a dedicated mid-range then the dedicated mid-range helps the tweeter and mid-bass components. The result usually ends up with a good sound linearity. A system with good linearity will sound equally balance on low to high volumes.

Now how come the 2way Focal 165 FX is more expensive than then the Focal 3way 165A3 given that one is a 2way set while the other is a 3way set? It is simply because of the materials use that the focal 165 FX has. This then translates to better tonality.
What is tonality on speakers? It is the accuracy of a speaker to produce the natural sound of instruments.

I hope my simple explanation would help you with your decision. Remember that there is no best speakers out there, there will always be a compromise. It's how well you learn to maximize your gears that counts.

Good luck bro!
CLEAR! Thanks po...
