Let YOUR OWN EARS be the judge.
Naturally, if your sources aren't decent, the expectation can't be met. I've always thought the Aria series were nice sounding speakers in their price point.
The entire Focal line is solid.
Setup/room of course, is paramount for any speaker.
It's all subjective regardless. Try to demo, or buy from a dealer with a return policy.
Asking if it's a "Hi-Fi speaker" seems inappropriate. I personally don't own Focals, but have heard countless setups from the lower to Utopia line. Some ears like them, some don't.
