It's ALT GR + E !I did try that but it just opens the edge menu.
well let's back to the main topic. It's a bit sad that the price of focal, aria line in particular, in US is quite absurd, they are not popular there. I asked same question regarding atmos on a home theatre group, but it seems nobody buys $2000/pair speakers for that.
homecinemasolution and fnac are both based in France so EU shipping is possible (not all EU countries though, you have to check). At least for HCS I can say the shipping is very fast and not overly expensive, it was around 40€ next day delivery.
Got some answers for my question - apparently 906 is too big for wall mount, and atmos speakers are usually half in size if not smaller. focal themselves make some atmos speakers. I think it would not hurt, sound quality wise for using 906, but it's a waste in both space and money.yeah a good (bookshelf) speaker will be good for tv and movies. I used them briefly for tv - had no conclusion, but I am not quite sure if atmos speakers are any different. maybe they aren't, but never hurt to ask for experience

Am I the only one to find it nicer without the round cover?
AFAIC: Yes.

Round cover?
If you remove the ring (glued)
Looks more like the studio monitors with the screws exposed. I like it better with the trim piece.
If you're talking about Focal S900 stands: very stable, since speakers are screwed in the base.
The bottom is made of thick glass and heavy enough.
yeah that stand. thick glass? is it tempered_
EDIT: indeed it does https://www.focal.com/sites/www.foc...document/aria_s900_specification_sheet_gb.pdf
how hard is it to tip over if you can try it ?. Thinking about buying the bundle and giving the speakers to my brother in law while keeping the stands

. Thinking about buying the bundle and giving the speakers to my brother in law while keeping the stands a bit late but nice review. it hurts to see how cheap stuff is in US and EU. These are almost 3k in canada. Theres a pair on canuckaudiomart for 1700 but i still feel thats a bit steep for a bedroom system. Maybe the evo 65 would be better but not as stylish.
Canadians get hosed (did you catch the 1980's era pun)... i almost think that corporate interests don't "need" you guys...
super late to this comment but it stuck out to me because i deliberated and scrutinized over the R3s and 906s in my bedroom for 5 days before returning the R3s and keeping the 906s. the majority of what i listen to is vocal heavy and the 906s were markedly preferrable for that style. if i listened to electro or house i'm sure i would have opted to keep the R3s, but they underperformed for vocal work.
out of curiosity, what did you find lacking with 906s playing electro/house? could it be fixed with EQ?
