Hi all,
I was wondering if there are any owners or people who have experienced testing some of the Focal Aria floorstander range? The 906 bookshelf are very well regarded but floorstanders not as common. There does not seem to be a lot of information on these on english based forums, and I suspect that has do with the large price delta for those outside the EU.
How do these stack up and any stand-outs within the range? I also see they have just released a K2 for the 936. Quick search is putting online prices around the following mark:
Focal Aria 926 - 1450 euro
Focal Aria 948 - 2000 euro (40% more)
Personal context:
I find myself in France at the moment so have some bias towards picking up some local made speakers. I spoke with someone who works for Focal (not a dealer) and said to skip the 936s, go 926 or 948, take that for what it is worth. I currently taking a bit step-up from a Cambridge Audio One system with some small bookshelfs so don't have a lot of reference points at this range.
