Focal Aria speaker

Anyone here have any love (or dislike) for the Focal Aria 948 speaker?
 I’ve ordered them (at a big discount) on their reputation without having heard them.
My taste is classical music. 
I want better imaging and more bass than my current speakers (modified Dahlquist DQ 20’s.)
I can still cancel the order.

My room size is 25’x23’
Power sources: NuForce 9 v.3 monobloc amps,  Modified CJ PV 11 preamp.

Twoleftears,

Thank you so much for your response.
These speakers appear to be great.
Unfortunately, I have no option but to install them between a large big screen TV.
But the TV is somewhat recessed.
Hopefully, I can mitigate any problems if I get the speakers.

The bigger the differential between the plane of the scene and the plane of the speaker drivers, the better.  Negative effects definitely are reduced (personal experience).  Try the woolen rug drape on the screen; you could also think about getting a custom absorption panel made for you by GIK.
