Any sifus experienced these component speaker models?

1. Focal Performance PS165v1
2. Pioneer TS-Z65CH (Top of the line of Pioneer)
3. Kenwood KFC-XC1703 (Top of the line of Kenwood)

I'm assuming Focal PS165v1 will still outperform the Pioneer and Kenwood top of the line, I might be wrong, just want to know is there anyone tried these models before and comment what will be the difference between them?

Will be paired with a 4x80W RMS at 4ohms amp.

Currently my setup is a Focal Auditor R-165s2(Front) and R-165c(Rear) with Nakamichi NBF80A under-seat woofer, planning to upgrade maybe just the front set by replacing 1 of the 3 listed above.

Thanks for the comment, so among those 3 which 1 do you prefer more based on your own preferences? Or maybe there are other choices that is around the price tag and I didn't list them down. My playlist is more to vocal focused type of EDMs or Pop songs, IMO if the bass kurang doesn't matter, since I already have an underseat woofer for the bass part.

I believe it's Hertz Cento CKP 165 (approx. RM1.2k) after I did some research...
