Review on πŸ”Š Focal Chora 826 Floor Standing Speaker System: 2 Speakers in Light Wood - Unmatched Audio Performance! by Czeslawa Gorska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Setup: - Denon PMA-NE600 amplifier - Pro-Ject T1 player - Focal Chora 826 - Dali speaker cable In neighboring reviews, there are two diametrically opposed opinions about how the speakers on the bottoms sound. I tend to agree that the bottom end is built and present in the right amount, and if it isn't, it's worth listening to with other amps.

Pros
  • - They play on a large scale, in the right room and with the right one create the effect of presence and very clearly delineate the stage - Detailed, but preserving the musical flow. How it manifests itself: you can sit on the sofa and listen to the nuances and details, or you can start dancing. - Great for heavy genres (Slayer, Nile, Gojira) and classics (Mahler, Shostakovich) - Omnivores, play even with the Denon PMA-NE600. But they will open up with more expensive amplifiers. - Beautiful, to be honest.
Cons
  • - They have a relatively narrow "Hi-Fi" spot - in my case (the speakers are at a distance of 5 meters from each other with a slope of 15 degrees from the perpendicular), this place is about 1.5x1.5 meters, at other points the sound changes. - Finishing seems cheap, but that's probably okay. - Sometimes it seems that they are buzzing on the bottoms, but I blame the amplifier. - On the bottoms, they can't cope in conjunction with Denon with fast funk compositions like RHCP
