Focal Aria 906 opinions?


Anyone with direct experience with these? Have a potential good deal brewing, but have no chance to listen first hand.

Also, wow all three of those choices look fantastic.  And darn you for sharing this website.  Why was I not previously informed?  Ha Ha!
I have a pair of 906s in a second system (computer audio mostly) and I’m very happy with them. While they don’t dive deep into the bass frequencies (well, after all, size matters) they do give a wonderfully balanced, musical presentation, excellent transients, and a very sharp stereo image. I find them a pleasure to listen to though they’d probably benefit from an upgrade in amplification, which I intend to do at some point. (Right now they’re being driven by a rather old Arcam A85 integrated). Of course you’ll want to treat them to good speaker cables, too. I’m using Morrow SP4s and they seem a really good match. If you're buying the speakers new, remember that they take about 100 hours of playing to find their voice, so have patience with them.
The Polks are nice speakers but I think that the Focals and the three that I listed are in a different league.

The polks are a consideration in the $500 (Used) and under league.

The three I mentioned and the Focals are where my $ would go, if you are okay with that budget!
