Focal what's the differences?

[Qualm]

I have been looking at getting some Focal floor standing speakers. The 800 series or the 700 series are the ones that have really peaked my interest. I have had the fortune to listen to the 716s, which I really liked, and started to do some research. I am trying to figure out what the differences are between the 700 series and the 800 series? Also I noticed that there is a 716 and a 716v. Is there somewhere that states the differences? I am thinking about getting some of the 836v, as I have a really large room to fill. The room is 27' x 27' minus a 10' x 10' area. These speakers would first and foremost be used for listening to music and second double as a 3.1 for movies.

Thanks

The main difference between the 700 and 800 series - is more critical cabinet bracing.

If you can get the 800 series for a good price - then I would prefer the 800 series.

What about size? Would the 832s fit better in the room measurements I posted above? It is a pretty big area, about 60m2

Thanks
