JM Labs-Focal: Chorus 726S or 806V or Electra 906?

I have not actually heard an 806v, but doubt there is a significant difference. Probably the finish is the biggest change since the drivers are identical.

I have never heard an "S" series Focal speaker, but have heard a lot of the different "v" speakers. The 806v is a great speaker, but I'd be surprised if the Electra 906 didn't sound better. Can you listen to any of them?

I don't know what the difference is between the S and V Chorus speakers other than I've read a lot more positive reviews of the V speakers than I have of the S spaekers.

Just a couple of weeks ago I listened to a pair of the 806v speakers at my local dealer and was blown away with their sound. I'm sure my Focal 836v speakers would sound better connected to the same equipment, but the sound was excellent. They were hooked to a Pathos amplifier.

I would anticipate them being great for jazz and classical with the exception of organ music and no bookshelf speaker really does well with organ music.

I've heard a 726v once and was fairly impressed, but I know my local dealer generally carries the 706v for the bookshelf and goes to the 800 series for floorstanding models. They have said that they think the added range of the floorstanding models causes them to need the thicker cabinets and bottom bass port to really maximize on the investment.

I would either go for the Electra or the 806v.
