FOCAL ARIA 926 vs. TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 6F using a Primaluna Dialogue Premier

I recently purchased a Primaluna Dialogue Premium and am in need of better speaker to compliment the amp.  I am teetering between Focal and Tannoy and would greatly appreciate any assistance in helping make a decision.  Room size 12x25 with the setup at one end with furniture, so the room is not a dedicated listening room.  Thanks.

The Tannoy are half the price.... and very well reviewed.... without any comparison i will go with the Tannoy....

I already owned Tannoy dual concentric for 45 years and they are the best i know of even compared to magneplanar if they are well embedded tough....

I have heard both speakers with your PL.
It's really not a "bad" choice with either. Just a subjective thing-what sounds good to your  ears. I have a PL HP.

The 926 is made in the factory in France. Build quality is very good. The Tannoy doesn't share anything with their traditional upper end models made in Scotland. They are made in China(not a bad thing). I'd go for the 8's if you go Tannoy, and your budget allows.

Personally, I preferred the Focal sound-they were more convincing. To my ears, the Tannoy leans more to the warmer side, if that's your thing. 

Whatever you do, get them out in the room, away from the walls, and consider a sub. Do 2+ to hear what everyone here, talks about.
