When my wife and I were shopping for speakers, I haven't heard of Focal. We were at ABT Electronics in Illinois, and went through a few sound rooms with different brands and prices speakers. We were shoping for speakers around $2k for a pair. After auditioning speakers like B&W, Martin Logan, JBL, Klipschs etc. Price range $1500 to $7000.00 the Focal Aria 926 won. My debate was between Aria 948 and Aria 926. We decided on the 926 because we have 2 subs, to cover the bass response difference. After we received the speakers, and hooked them up, I realized, that they produce enough bass for our room on their own, so my subs come on on a rare occasion, mostly in some seens in movies. When I listen to music, subs are silent. When I learnd the history of Focal, which happened after the fact we made the purchase, I appreciate our choice even more. We went way over our budget, but sound quality we have now, well worth it. Money well spent.
