Focal Aria 906 Speaker Review

[delta76]

I found them excellent for TV, movies.

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

Alt+E works pretty well, FYI.

Alt+0128

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.

It's ALT GR + E !

Does any of these low price Aria shops ship to EU? Might be tempted this summer to give it a try and compare with my narrower directivity LS50 Meta.

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.

Am I the only one to find it nicer without the round cover?

AFAIC: Yes.

Looks more like the studio monitors with the screws exposed. I like it better with the trim piece.
