Question about focal chorus line

[Elvis1118]

I’ll be quick.

I have focal chorus 726 tower speakers and the matching center channel. My surrounds are from Martin Logan that I got for real cheap. I’ve been wanting to get a complete matching set and get the appropriate focal chorus surround speakers and there’s someone near me selling a pair of focal chorus 705V bookshelf speakers. My question is, will these blend well with the focal speakers I have? The ones I have are the ones they did after the V series and am not sure if they would be a tonal match or not because I haven’t been able to find anything concrete that tells me what the differences are between the models, if any. I was hoping someone who’s more familiar with this series could tell me. Thanks in advance.

Surround speakers are quite easy to get right.

If they look great with your current Focal speakers, then I say go for it.

Unless you can find the same line of Focal speakers, it’s the next best thing.

But if there is a “next time”, I would buy the entire system all at once.

Tonal matching the front with surrounds is not that big of a deal. That said, I’m a big focal fan and currently have Chorus V’s and previously had Chorus. The V is much brighter and you will notice it. It’ll take a bit of EQ to balance them and make them not harsh

Do they measure “bright”? Like have a +6dB peak around 10kHz?

lol, just a little bright. Luckily they can be EQ fairly easily but I’d rather start with something a bit more neutral and only deal with the room and not the room and speaker.
