Focal Aria 906 opinions?

Thanks! Don't get me wrong either, love the Elacs, but if a significant step change is possible and within reach I'll go for it. Have a smallish bedroom that houses my set up, 10 by 12 ish or so.

Some additional information, moving on soon from a 20 plus year old mid level Yamaha AVR. Currently have Elac b6's, but now I may have a chance to upgrade both amp and speakers.

Focal Aria's worth it? Reviews seem good, but then again aren't they all?

800 new

Also, wow all three of those choices look fantastic.  And darn you for sharing this website.  Why was I not previously informed?  Ha Ha!

Awesome, thanks!

How about some Polk LSiM 703's? They are in the same range as well (800 per pair).  Discontinued, but price has dropped about half from the original 1500 when they came out.

We are at a strange intersection of tyranny of choice, but no way to audition.  

Thanks again!

FYI, I went for it, Focals should be here in a week or so.

I had another thread open, but any good integrated amp recommendations in the $1k usd range (new or used)?

No tubes please, not ready for that level of fiddling :)

Well, since I am sure you all are curious, ha ha ha, I have the Focals set up and pumping out music.

Normally folks would gush and say how happy they are with their choice, that the sound instantly changed for the better. And while I am happy with these speakers, it has taken a fair bit of time to maneuver them around to extract good sound, or at least live up to my expectations.

Better than my previous Elacs for sure, but I had lived with those friends for a couple of years, and was super comfortable with what they did and how they did it.

Wasn't love at first hear. I do enjoy them, but with any upgrade I feel it takes time to dial it in. Still dialing, it's a slow burn. But a good burn...
