Please grade a system (woofer + floorstanding speakers)

[Bog.lungu]

Hello mate,
I really need you help!
I want to fill up with a high quality and laud sound a 25 square meter room.

I don’t want to specify a tight budget but my focus is to create a system using :

1. Subwoofer ( Subwoofer SVS PB-1000 PRO ) because for my specific taste low frequency are mandatory.
2. 2 x Floorstanding Speaks.

My conflict is that I didn’t have the opportunity to compare side by side the following speakers :

• Focal Aria 948
• Triangle Genese Quartet
• Focal Aria 926
• Triangle Genese Lyrr
• Focal Chora 826
• Focal Aria 936

Can you please try to grade them from the sound quality perspective ( taking in consideration the whole picture described above) ?

Thank you

I would say to forget about the Triangles...

Since you are using a subwoofer (a nice one) I would say that the best choice would be Focal Aria 926.
They would be more than perfect!

Hello,

I do not know them, but until someone with experience / knowledge of them can help you, from another thread:

Need help from hifi anonymous to not buy Focal Aria 948

Few months ago I decided to spend some money on "good" speakers (finally) and got new pair of Focal Aria 926. Unboxing them after long day at work I was questioning why I spent money on two wood boxes with 4 drivers since I already had a pair of similar wood boxes with 4 drivers, my Dali Zensor...

Focal speakers are highly regarded and measure well.

Those components are good enough that the key to sound quality will be: i) your room, ii) how you implement bass management between the Focals and the sub, and iii) if you are doing DSP room correction. With good bass management, you probably won't get much by going up the Aria product line because they won't be doing low bass anyways, so I agree with Bog that I would first look to the Aria 926.
