Focal Chorus 700


I just by chance heard the Chorus 726v at a dealer, paired with nice Audio Research front end gear. I was rather impressed. I had been looking at the B&W 804D's and where as the cabinet design is much slicker on the B&W. I was again really impressed the sound of the Focal. Does anyone here have any experience comparing the two and / or similar sized Focal's that are higher up the Focal line? I have an all Audio Research front end (CD3 MkII, LS26, VT100MKII) and all transparent cables, etc. Thank you

Mceljo,

I've been looking into the 705v and 706v and thought you'd have some valuable insight into my dilemma...

I have go get on-wall speakers due to my 8 month old's recently new found crawling and climbing abilities. I've read that the 705v has wall mount lugs on the back. Can you confirm this? Does the 706v have them too?

Have you heard either speaker very close to a back wall or wall mounted? Thoughts?

Finally, can you describe the differences between both?

I'm currently using a Bryston B60, but once I have a dedicated room again I'll use the Focals in a living room 2 channel system with a lower end integrated amp.

Sorry if I'm hijacking!
Thanks, Mceljo. I'd go in-wall, but I rent, so it's not the best option. The layout doesn't make building a shelf the best option either. I'm pretty much limited to on-wall. I've come down to the 705v or Totem Deramcatcher. Not sure how either would sound wall mounted, but both are fantastic speakers for the money in a traditional stands set-up. My wife really likes both speakers visually, so it's a toss up between them.

Thanks again for the info. It's been very valuable.
