JM Labs-Focal: Chorus 726S or 806V or Electra 906?

Being a former Focal dealer, I'd definitely go for the Electra 906. At least, that would be my choice. The 806V is decent, but from memory the sound of the Electra 906 was a nice step up.

for the same money, i'd also go with the electras---fantastic high end, extremely well built, easy to place and unfussy about front end. can't compare 'emto the daline, which i haven't heard. the issue for me with the chorus line is driver integration--there's a noticeable midbass hump, although that tweeter is incredible. i currently use the cobalts in my office system and find them more seamless in presentation. just my opinion, of course--tas loves the chorus, and are undoubtedly more expert.

Thanks so much for all of the input. Is there a significant difference between the 706 and 806?

I have not actually heard an 806v, but doubt there is a significant difference. Probably the finish is the biggest change since the drivers are identical.

I own Cobalt 820's and Focal 906's, in addition to ML CLSiiz's, and Cain & Cain Abby's. It's 906's hands down, but I've obtained best results driving them with 100 watts Class A via a Threshold T200. The Cobalts have been relegated to rear channel surrounds, even though they obviously produce far more bass than the 906's.

I'm not so sure the NAD integrated is capable of driving the 906's and featuring them at their best, but they're the better speaker to my ear. Very hot speakers, and a great buy used!
