Focal Aria 926 Floor Standing Speaker Black

Pros

Plays smoothly and power

Cons

Probably for a large room (more medium apartments)

Review

I listened to these ACs in the wiretap of the remote control (source of CD Rotel 11 Tribute, Denon PMA-2500 amplifier). Compared to Heco Revolution Celan 7. At first it seemed that Celan is more alive, more interesting, brighter. But then fatigue came from his sound. And then Aria sounded in a completely different way: she won a well and very evenly on the heavyweight, while there was a bass, and the high ones did not cut his hearing, the middle did not stick out and did not fall.

Choose with his wife. As a result of several auditions, they stopped precisely on the Focal Aria 926. They chose unanimously due to the transmission of sound. We liked the depth, elaboration of sound, detail. We listen to jazz, rock of the 60-80s, blues, classics. Acoustics are connected to the Maratz PM700N. We only have a FLAC. He threw all his MP3, as he immediately heard the difference. The room is a little over 18 square meters. m. It is still along the wide wall, perhaps in the future we will put along a narrow wall (as experts recommend). I listen every day for 8-10 hours, I do not get tired of listening ... This is our first HIFI system. I am very happy to buy. We believe that the price \ quality ratio is normal. If you listen to jazz, classics, rock, blues, your amplifier in terms of characteristics approaches this acoustics, your budget allows you to buy this speaker system, and the room in which you plan to put a system of sufficient size, we recommend that you listen to it at first at first In the store and consult with experts at Pult.ru).

Review

The old Pioneer 924 receiver burned out. At the same time, I decided to replace the old acoustics of Yamaha 8900. I chose the Focal Aria 926. I ordered it, they brought it yesterday. I connected the ATOLL 100 and CD Pioneer PD103 to the integrated amplifier. Great sound: pure top and medium, low enough, no buzz (room 20 m2), a wide scene. For a movie, I’ll try with the Denon 3500 + Atoll receiver as an amplifier of power for the fronts (I haven't connected it yet) While complete delight. I recommend buying.

Pros

Stunning sound, scene, detail, bass

Cons

Require a considerable room for the meter of the premises

Review

These columns with the Denon PMA 1520 amplifier have happened. An excellent scene, pass all the nuances of the record. Good top, there is absolutely no busting. Powerful, deep bass. All genres play perfectly. Rock play as a doctor prescribed. With a drive, with pressure, what you need. From the minus - require a room at least 20 square meters. In my room, 17 squares were mercilessly buzzing, there was simply no salvation. It’s not regrettable as it was, but I had to return them and choose shells.

Relatively good technique for that kind of money !!!! I don’t know if this is a marriage or not, but after one month (5 times use) one squeak was out of order !!! I hope a useful review.

Pros

sound, appearance

Cons

price. A little expensive, but this is more for me than for acoustics of this level

Review

In the focals, I started with Focal Chorus 726. I liked the sound very much, the minus was only on the bottom. The bass was fast and a couple, but he lacked depth and scale. Therefore, I decided to switch to the Aria series. And he did not regret at all. Take Chorus, multiply everything by 2- and now - Aria. Detailization, dynamics, attack, the presentation of even complex musical materials- everything is on top. I used to liked the brightness of Heco, but now I have become an adherent of Focal neutrality.

Review

Not a sound specialist, but heard by the naked ear and immediately that they sound much better compared to old budget infinity (Audiolab amplifier, room 18 sq. M., Material FLAC, CD), in general, the difference is noticeable and it is heard immediately . Infinity previously liked and arranged how they sound, but in comparison with the Focal Aria 926, which play voluminous, dynamic, which resembles live music, the sound of Infinity is some flat and not particularly interesting.

Pros

Each has their own ears and other factors, but I am pleased with the purchase

Cons

In my opinion, only the price

Review

I am not an avid audiophile, although I love music, like a movie. Classic, rock, blues ... I still have a modest Yamaxa 440 receiver and there is no experience in listening to good equipment, except at the Crocus exhibition, when I wanted to look for the sound that hidden among the curtains, the sound seemed so alive. So a little capital truths and a little of my opinion, without an abstruse description of airiness, integrity, transparency and depth. Although I respect people who can describe this truthfully. What you need to first listen to your ears is a common truth. I don’t hear high frequencies very well, but I liked the sound of a triangle. The bottoms depend on the recording and rooms. The room of 18 meters is quite significant, if well recorded. They are a little thickening, but while the amplifier is weak in the current for ARIA, we remember about the unstable acoustic resistance. In the cinema, naturally for seismic sounds, you need a subwoofer. About 8 hours he was warmed up by a special phonogram. I like it, I rarely listen to, for the third month.

Detailed and enveloping sound. Fore bass.

Review

I have been using this acoustics for several years. When the correct selection of the acoustic cable has been played chic any directions from gravity to vocal. A powerful amplifier is necessary because The impedance of the columns is not the most convenient. Good and high -quality French acoustics. I recommend.
