Focals and McIntosh
Utopia listening sessions - Focal
Here is one for Ivan, since the Focal speakers are being powered by McIntosh gear!!! :banana: Cheers, |
That has to be great combination. Hoping my 948's will play well with my new Mac gear!

MA7900 and Focal Aira 936
I paired the Focal Aira 936 with the MA7900 for around a week. The sound is getting better and better. The details are coming up.

scirica and HKJDH...can you share with us your thoughts on Focal's new Aria line of speakers. Interested in both your models. How would you describe their sonic character? What speakers did they replace? How long have you had them? Are you happy with them, etc...? Any and all info/impressions would be much appreciated :thumbsup:

Cmalak: I am extremely impressed with the 948's given the relatively low cost. Of course low when compared to the average speakers on this forum in particular! I upgraded from Linn AV5140 main and center speakers, Anthem MRX500 as a pre/pro, and a Proceed Amp5. Current system is in signature. Focal/Mcintosh system blows away my old system in every way imaginable. It's more dynamic, detailed, and has the darkest noise floor I've ever "not" heard. I'd say the Aria's do a great job with midrange and higher. Bass is good, but needs a subwoofer for true extension past 40hz. I did have the Aria's running off the Anthem/Proceed combo for a few weeks and was quite pleased with the step up from the Linns. However, when combined with the Mcintosh MX121 & MC205 they really started to shine. Some speakers seem to like certain electronics better than others. Aria's LOVE Mcintosh!

BTW, another factor for my choice for Focal is that they are made in France where gives me the confidence on quality assurance. Most products with such competitive price go to China nowadays. |
