Best New Loudspeakers under $5,000. Focal Aria 900
My uncle is in the pro audio field and goes to all the shows around the world. A hot hew speaker line to look out for is the New Focal Aria 900 loudspeaker line that comes out in Oct -2013 Aluminum magnesium tweeter- wave guide,and new Flax,fiberglass sandwich Mid and Woofer drivers ,efficient90- 92db front and bottom ported. My uncle says a lot of high end sound for the buck. He is usually spot on .he uses B&W 802 Diamond in his Studios. He just gives his opinion a very natural open loudspeaker with solid Bass That is his pick for best value for the dollar for 2013.
I'm french and i'd never liked Focal, even if i live 40 miles away from the factory... I never heard this new serie so i can't be categorical on it. Even if they produce good drivers (sometimes...), they can't use them properly. When i discovered Usher audio speakers, i really understood the necessity to use drivers in a proper manner. Dc D'apollito rules...
It all comes down to the character of your other equipment downstream Best is a relative term ,to, what ,or who ? ribbons, cones, stats,planer? So many choices !!
