You may want to hold off a bit if you are seriously considering the Focal's. I spoke to a store last week about the Chorus series and they said Focal is coming out with a new line in this general price range. They are said to be more focused on the Audiophile customer and should be released by the end of 2011.
B&W 804D vrs Focal Chorus 826
I am now in search of new speakers for my 2 ch system. I have been recently been upgrading everything and the speakers are the last step. I currently have ARC CD3 MKII, ARC LS26, ARC VT100MKII. And my old Martin Logan Aeon with a JL F110 sub, all Transparent balanced IC's (Ultra). I tried Vandersteen 3A sigs but they did not work well in my room. (15x25x9) I have heard at dealers both the B&W804 and the Focal, liked both. Anyone with long term experience with both that can compare? The Focal are less that half the price of the B&W and have essentially the same size components. 2x6" woofers, 1x6" mid and tweeter.
And similar specs. Any thought as to which will work best with my gear and be a long term speaker to live? Thank you
