What did you have before this setup? I have B&W 703s2 with the matching HTM71s2 but I’m strongly leaning toward Focal 936

2k for a pair? that's crazy

@@Sheisintomalakasdino it's actually cheap

Jordy Baas I just bought a pair of 726's. I cannot believe the quality of the speakers or the sound. Best $2K I ever spent. Focal is amazing.

Anyone heard a pair of Devialet Phantom Golds? How do they compare to a pair of focal loud speaker of around the same price including an amp? So $6000 approximately.

I see you like your 926's. Im considering buying a pair of those. The are priced right and don't seem to be power hungry. I currently have the Arcam SA-20 Integrated Amp and pushes 90wpc. What are you using to power your Focal's?

Naw, read his store's reviews. Apparently he's rude to customers and for support he rushes people off the phone and doesn't help.

He doesn’t respond to his KZfaq followers either . To busy selling to answer questions hmmmm

Not from what I hear. And the cabinet is much bigger. But a grand could go toward a sub and that's your intentions.

With a good amp bi-wiring doesn't really make any improvement. Electra is quite different then aria , the tweeter in electra is very very reveling, no mercy for low quality recordings. Also electra is fast , design more for critical listening high quality recordings in well treated room. Aria 936 is more mellow, design for everyday listening in average livingroom. You need to be careful when choosing the right amplifier for your taste/music.

Kevin Velasco get the towers, then you get full range and won’t need a subwoofer.

That requires a LOT of info from you. If you are in the USA reach out at our website. Nobody's on commission and we take the time that's needed to get it right!

Well it will work. It may not give the best result but there is no problem either.

Even denon avr x1400/2400h has a power to drive them for sure, but as for avr it'd better integrate them with x3400h for the end choice.

Yea, 92 sensitivity. 30 watt amp would knock stuff off the walls.

6012 but honestly your speakers are worth much much more !

did you bought sr6012?. I am thinking buyng the same.

It's funny you mention that. We are going to be showing the PrimaLuna HP integrated with Sopra 2 at the L.A. Audio Show coming up soon. The best way to build a $20k audio system is NOT with $10k speakers and $10k in amplification. Put the money into speakers. The HP integrated, at $4399, will be as good or better than $40k in ARC separates (I have an e-mail from a customer on the PrimaLuna website who sold his $30,995 Ref 10 preamp and $10,995 Ref 110 power amp because he preferred the $4399 PrimaLuna). I have been running an HP with my $36k Sonus faber Amati Furura and it's heaven. Though I may get Sopra 2. They are frickin' magic. The new Amati Tradition is the biggest mistake Sonus ever made from what I'm hearing on the street. All style, no performance. Why they went with a smaller midrange defies logic but I don't know if they even have a real designer there now. It makes me so sad.

Seeing as how efficient Focals are, I guess a toaster can power them. Jokes aside, I would like to move from my Emotiva gear, witch did it's part brilliantly for the money I spent fro an XSP1 gen 2 and SA250, and move in to tube territory. Was taking a hard look at the PrimaLuna Dialogue line for a while and I might move in in to the PreAmp at first and later on look in to a Dialogue HP. My thoughts are with Dialogue HP x2 (monoblock) in to Sopra 2 or 3 or B&W 802 or 800 D3. I have no doubt about the HP being able to power the Sopra and doing a great job at it in the monoblock configuration, but I am wondering how well they will do with the B&W 800 series top range. I know they are a bit more demanding, but also the results can be great. Any thoughts? P.S. I'm running a full analog system with an Acoustic Solid Machine Black TT in to an Avid Pulsare 2 phono pre amp. On this end, I will probably only change the cartridge anytime soon and maybe add a second tone arm for a mono cartridge. Started building my system less than 3 years ago with Pro-Ject Carbon 3 USB in to a LG soundbar, got hooked to vinyl and never looked back :)

I have the JM Lab Mezzo Utopias and there really good speakers. I always loved the W Cone drivers. They sound articulate. They use a really good tweeter called the Telar 57. I'm using the JM Lab 920.1 for a home theater system.

@@upscaleaudio I like so much your explanations ,and all the details no other reviewers give. You have an hypnotic power and that effect makes me bought an 926 pair, now I would like you suggest me a stereo amp , and also if possible an multichannel, I was thinking on a sr6012. From Argentina best for you.

the law of diminishing returns affects everything not just speakers but .... yolo !

highly doubtful

the best is to listening them first. what's your room size and listening distance ? more than 30sqm and 3,5 meter or more, it's the 948

Aron Gatt I believe paradigm makes Their own stuff in house

Dali also make there own drivers

Kef does not make their own speakers. I don't think they ever did. China makes their speakers.

sounds like someone has never heard a pair in person. They are better than B&W all the way

Focal makes all of its drivers in-house from beginning to end. Take a look at the factory tour

Nice try
