Focal Chora 826 Floorstanding Speakers Dark Wood

Pros

Appearance. Sound. Convenience of placement.

Cons

In my room (20 sq. M), the bass at 50Hz is a bit too much for my taste.

Review

Excellent speakers for their money (about 80 or 90 thousand rubles a year ago cost). The port of the phase inverter in front, which allows them to put them close to the wall. True, these large holes turned out to be very seductive for the child to put something in them))) On the other hand, a huge plus is that tweeters are protected by non -removable metal grilles. They look very beautiful (especially color versions). In sound, no complaints except the features I described in the disadvantages. In my opinion, one of the best in his class. PS: pah-pah for a year with a little suspension did not crack)))

Pros

The sound is good, medium remarkable, high excellent, and low too.

Cons

Suspens in three prose speakers, a constructive marriage, not only mine cracked.

Review

It makes no sense to change the same speakers, the guarantee is over. I will change the suspensions. Now I study which is better, rubber or polyurethane, how the sound will change. I do not condemn the remote control, they might not know about this marriage.

Pros

An even sound in the whole audible range. The bottoms are clear, fast and do not clog the middle. I liked the top, super on shock plates.

Cons

I haven't found it yet. I am listening to a month.

Review

The photo looks worse than in real life. When I was buying, my wife would itch, the French always have a bust or shortage with a design. When I installed I was satisfied. They look vying in lively and do not spoil the grilles, although in the photo with grills sucks. I liked the sound and my wife, that the columns are almost universal, the classic is normal, but when the BSO fully turns on, something is missing, maybe Rotel is guilty, but the rock inserts cool.

Pros

A wonderful sound, an elegant look, convenient magnetic grills that I do not even take off when listening.

Cons

On one of the speakers there was a defect - on the medium -frequency dynamics of a dent. On the sound, this does not reflect in any way, but unpleasant. Still, the goods are manufactured in France, manually.

Review

Having created a system of modern Hi Fi in 2018, I found the desire to create a new, higher level. The former included Denon 720 + Heco 520 Prime. Since financial capabilities are very limited, I could not buy the whole system at once and had to start somewhere. What to consider primary speakers or an amplifier in the system? Managers unanimously affirmed the priority of the amplifier. I would have done so, and still accumulated a long time to the amplifier if Focal had not gone to the state -owned action for the Russians and did not undertake a brilliant marketing move, reducing the price exclusively by 25%. Having connected the speakers to the Denon 720 bunch, I immediately felt a significant improvement in sound. This manifested itself primarily in the sound of percussion instruments, percussion. The sound seemed to scatter through the speakers (there are 1 more of them than in Heco and this is audible.) The scene has expanded, the detail has increased, stereo-bosom has become wider. I was very pleased. Improving sound occurred approximately as the price tag on the product shows. I am listening mostly rock. Heco classics played no worse, but in rock the superiority of Focal is obvious. I recommend to everyone who loves high -quality sound, but has no big income. I listen to 20-25 meters in a room.

Pros

I bought 18m2 in the room is olitely, middle, the bass in the cinema even without a subwoofer is super!

Cons

After a year of use, he noticed that microcracks appeared along the contour of diffusers, this is not good.

Review

I bought it in the 18m2 room as a whole, everyone suits, I hope they will last a long time. I advise you to take as a good floor pair. Everything is satisfied with the movie and music, the only one upset after the year of use there were microcracks in all the speakers, which is upset, although it is possible for everyone now. They make acoustics for 5 years, 10 maximum. I use the 826 choir from the AB receiver Yamaha 459. In the future, I think to buy Denon 800n, or what else will come out.

Pros

well -balanced speakers

Cons

There is no way to connect BI-Fig

Review

I switched to this acoustics after the tycoon Tempus 77. Data of the AC has a very balanced sound. There is no protruding bass, the HF soft, clear, do not tire with prolonged listening. The vocals are reproduced very naturally and pleasant by ear. The appearance and quality of manufacture are very good. The stands under the AC make them very stable

Pros

High details of sound

Cons

The sound is too close to the speakers

Review

We bought for music: classic, jazz, blues, hard rock, various vocals. The purchase is generally satisfied. Compared to the previous ones (Magnat Monitor Supreme 2000) has become simply heard better. A easily distinguishable stereo appeared, each tool can be listened separately, the diction of the singers clearly improved :) In general, the sound is clean, there is no sharpness, it is comfortable to listen to low volume. If space savings are important - compactness will be a plus. Although for sounding this is probably a minus. They do not look too solid, but nice. The modern design fit well.

Pros

Sound, made in France, phase intelligence in front, design

Cons

Maybe the lack of Bi-Wiring

Review

This acoustics were bought for the front at the home theater along with the Denon X3600 receiver. There was a restriction, strong enough in terms of accommodation - there were niches near the TV under the fronts, respectively, I chose models with the front fi, for lack of space in the niche. And since the room is more than 35 m, the size should have no acoustics was not small. I chose 11.4, Yamo 809 and these. On the advice of consultants, I decided to choose this. In my not very attractive taste, they sound very good. True, because of them, I had to take everything from a series of choir, and the budget of the whole recreation center went beyond the scope of the planned, 826 fronts, 806 - the rear, choir center, sub and atmos - Dali. Satisfied with the purchase, thanks to the remote control.

Pros

Great appearance, build quality, sound

Cons

Grilles cheap up the appearance, it would be better to make it like 700 versions

Review

I purchased 826 black chores in the remote control on October 01, in return 716 focalam, brought, unpacked, collected, connected to 801 Yamaha. The sound is simply heaven and earth, the bass is clear, in music they do not require a saba (there is also Saba Focal 300), a little bright, apparently from the amp and inconsistent. I listened to Pink Floyd SACD DSD128 (everything is configured through the fubar, everything shows everything on the earnest), just a dump. Chizh and K, every tool is heard. Before that I wanted to take 926 focals on the secondary, but the price bites and which you will take it incomprehensible. I think I did not lose. The room is under 40 m2, 826 it is quite pumped. Very satisfied. Vinille also tried, straight a buzz. Now I look at the Sab Rel LDL Tryphoniki for music. For the cinema, Saba Fochal is enough. I recommend.
