Lol! Yeah. Phoenix suburbs!Nice view![]()
He could save some money, get the Chorus and it would sound about the same as the Arias. Another option.View attachment 195752
I have these, one version before yours. They are called Chorus 826V. Really good speakers, but a bit hefty in my small apartment.
The Chorus 826V are now 14 years old. I wouldn't recommend buying such old speakers. They will turn bad in the next years. The ferrofluid will dry out, the woofer surrounds will harden, the network cap specs will drift.He could save some money, get the Chorus and it would sound about the same as the Arias.

Yeah, but there is a new Chorus. I don't know the exact model number, but if he just searches Focal Chorus it will pop up.The Chorus 826V are now 14 years old.

If that's true, I'd say that at current pricing, the Aria 926 is wildly overpriced, especially the US.The Chora 826 is the same construct as the Chorus 726, they moved those numbers around.
The Chorus 826V and Aria 926 are technically the same. They share the same double BR (one is in the foot), the same bracings, the same specs, the same aluminium foot. They saved a bit of money with the Aria 926 by not replicating the metal appliances at the top and bottom, apart from that, they are the same.
I pay 2600€ per pair (contains 20% sales tax, so 2080€ if you exported them). Not cheap, not pricey. Sounds fair, the Aria 926 is a really good speaker and well made.If that's true, I'd say that at current pricing, the Aria 926 is wildly overpriced, especially the US.![]()
Sounds like there's a modal peak that needs to get notched with EQ.Not trying to hijack the thread, but I bought a pair of 926s about 2 months ago as well. I still, to this date, am not able to dial them in to sound solid. I know they can sound great but I get this boominess I can't get rid of.
Driving them with Hegel H390 and recently introduced KEF KC92 sub (which I had with my KEF LS50 Meta system), which helped a little BIT, but still some songs sound boomy.
I am at max where I can pull them away from walls. I'm sitting about 12 feet away. They are about 10 feet apart toed in (good idea?) and about 1 foot away from back wall. My room is 16'x20'x13' ceilings.
Any help would be appreciated.
@dfullerSounds like there's a modal peak that needs to get notched with EQ.
A modal peak is a frequency response peak caused by a combination of room dimensions and listening location.@dfuller
What is modal peak and how would I go about notching it with EQ? Should I get a miniDSP and a microphone or a different amp-like Parasound with bass management?
Let me know please.
If you don't know anything about either I'd suggest you first do a bit of research. It's not exactly plug and play, but there are lots of threads on here about it.Ok. Great! Thanks! I'll get MiniDSP with UMik.
