Review

Immediately, the review was not important, but after six months already what to say. I chose the speakers for a long time and, mainly by technical characteristics, as well as reading reviews. Then I listened to in the cabin something of the popular and inexpensive type Dali Spector, and I did not like the sound-sharp and with the color at the top. And then Focal has launched an attraction of unheard of generosity in Russia (by the way it continues so far - compare the prices with us in England, for example). My room is not large (12 m2) and I stopped at the Focal Chora 816. I ordered listening, and went the first time, even despite the fact that the speakers were new, still not running out. Included with the Magnat 780 hybrid amplifier, they gave out the sound of the necessary softness and detail (I listen to all the genres, but I get real pleasure from music where there are many living instruments). Now the columns have played out and sound generally excellent. In addition, there is no need to listen to music exactly in the middle opposite the speakers - high -frequency speakers have a very wide directional diagram. I am very pleased with the purchase. I am not a big fan of home cinemas, but by connecting TV to the optics amplifier, I heard just an amazingly more clear and detailed sound, although my TV is not bad - OLED LG55.
