Hello All,
First of all, thanks to all the members and admins of this community with who I learn a great deal about a topic I am passionate about.
I am asking for your help as I plan to upgrade my hifi system since i am moving from an appartment to a house. Here are some informations about me:
- Footprint is smaller in general
- The towers being shorter, and the tweeter being in second position, this would allow me to allign the center channel with the tower tweeter and not have the TV too high
- Height speakers exist
Focal Pros:
- Better sensibility
- I read a lot of good comments for music, some prefering them to Revel F206/F208. Didn't read many comments or comparison for the Arendal on music, mostly on HT. Which make me think Focal would be better for pure music listening ...
Does anyone have an opinion on this please ?
I am also open to other recommendations, active speakers as well if some with wide dispersion exist.
Thanks a lot in advance
Lifer

I am asking for your help as I plan to upgrade my hifi system since i am moving from an appartment to a house. Here are some informations about me:
- I tend to prefer wide dispersion than narrow dispersion.
- I listen mostly to Classic, Jazz, old Rock.
- I live in Europe and so Revel is out of question unfortunately.
- My plan is to build a 5.2.4 system for 70% Music 30% Movies (probably with a Denon X4700H + Hypex/Purifi amp)
- The plan and size of the living room is not set yet, but will be 30-50m2.
- My choice for now is stopped on Focal Aria Towers or Arendal 1723 or 1723S Monitors or Towers.
- Footprint is smaller in general
- The towers being shorter, and the tweeter being in second position, this would allow me to allign the center channel with the tower tweeter and not have the TV too high
- Height speakers exist
