Your assessement of the 816s matches mine. I never liked the Cobalt series - particularly their midrange which isn't natural to my ears. The new Chorus V series is a very big improvement in all respects.

Hello,
Need some input here, I went to the store to buy the Focal 816S. I listened to the 826V and decided against the 816s. To my ears, I could swear I was hearing box coloration on the midrange. Now I am seriously thinking of buying the 826V, however I just read that the 726V has exactly the same drivers, just not as elegant enclosures. Has anyone listened to both?
Speakers are being used for Home Theatre. I have a EAD Preamp and Rotel Amp. I occasionally listen to music in this room.
Have you listened to the 726V vs the 826V? What did you hear?
Thanks
