To Focal or not to Focal

Not

I should qualify. Not because the are not decent speakers, they are. However they are stupidly expensive and you can get the same or better quality for much less. 

In my opinion to Focal or not to Focal is to Focal. Might check out this vid comparing the Chorus W to the Aria which I’m assuming “may” have similar voicing to the Thieva. 

I’ve had Aria and currently my main speaker for the past few years has been the Chorus 836W. I’ve tried other more expensive speakers over the past couple years and keep coming back to them. This video pretty much sums up the difference I heard in my room. 
 

The Aria sound sweeter to me than the Chorus in this video. There are also differences in room acoustics - no panels with chorus and a ton of room reverb. Who knows what else is different.

....some just gotta Focal around....
