Thanks for the info!
The dealer I consulted also characterized the XP-17 as more 3D, revealing & detailed, but thought it was brighter, less warm, less smooth, and a bit lighter in the lows, giving it a slightly tipped-up balance vs a more even-handed balance in the XP-15.
Did you hear any of these characteristics in your setup? I'm unfamiliar with the sound of Focal speakers.
