Focal Aria 906 opinions?
Well, since I am sure you all are curious, ha ha ha, I have the Focals set up and pumping out music. Normally folks would gush and say how happy they are with their choice, that the sound instantly changed for the better. And while I am happy with...

Nice! Get out of Denver definitely a good Bob Seger cover of an inspiration from Chuck Berry? Like it. Never heard this before, thanks for the pick.  A great slice of early rock interpretation. Do I hear some Hank Williams in there? (Worn out suit...

No worries @isochronism , I was being sincere for the record. Maybe "review" wasn't the best idea, my intent was to listen and share thoughts, with the potential of leaving my comfort zone taste-wise, which is precisely what the Bruckner suggestio...
