Thanks for the responses. I took a leap of faith, and ordered a pair from Music Direct. So far, so good. They have the extra bass extension I was looking for and the bass is also better defined than in my Spendors. There is also nothing bright or harsh about them, but I am hearing good detail.
Has anyone heard the Focal Aria 936?
I have a set of Spendor SP/1's, which I really like, but they have limitations in low end extension and dynamics. Music Direct has the Focals on sale and, based on the Stereophile review, I think they might be a good fit for me. NOTE: I have NO WAY of listening to these before buying. The nearest B&M to me is 3 hours away and they don't carry Focal. My room is 21' by 12' and decently damped. I am using a McIntosh 4100 as a pre-amp and a Class D Crown power amp of 200 wpc. Any feedback on the Aria 936 would be much appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving!
