It is pretty cool to see an owner of a company take such an interest in the products of a new business partner that he is beginning to offer to his customers. I respect and admire this super hands on approach.
You don't know, you don't sell.... It's (as a manufacturer) all about "outlets" and if they can be trusted with grossly inflated prices and markup....... we're the fools that continue to "pony up" to this delusional sphere of self indulgence......

The Kanta 2 is the best value in the entire lineup and performs extremely well compared to other 10-11k speakers. Chora is good for the price. Aria has too much competition to really stand out at it's price point. Sopra 2 was excellent @ the original $13k price but at $21k its over priced with the Kanta 3 performing almost exactly the same at just $15k, which is still rather on the high end (was amazing for the original $12k). I was debating replacing my Sf Olympica speakers with either the Kanta 2, Kanta 3, or Sopra 2. I ended up getting the Kanta 2 due to it's extremely fast and punchy, feel it in the chest, bass that they produced. The Kanta 3 is a full range speaker, producing a ton of bass that just envelops you instead of punching you, much like how a sub does. If I didn't have a Rel 212/se I would have gone with the 3s but having a sub made me go with the 2s for the punchiness. The Sopra 2s were great sounding, but they gave nothing over the Kanta 3s other then being bottom ported and easier to place (and much nicer looking). At the Sopra price point you have too many good options from Wilson, Magico, and Sonus faber.

@jundaku love your take on these. I buddy offered to sale me his Kanta 2 for $4,500. After reading your comment I’m starting to feel like it’s a good deal
@@Laissez_Faire don’t even think about it, just buy them as it’s a steal at that price. I ended up selling mine off for 7500 and would without a second thought jump on a pair for 4500. They are one of my all time favorite speakers but got rid of them to avoid having them destroyed from a toddler. 😂
The Focal Aria line almost doubled in price. The only thing I see thats different is the finish. That being real wood or gloss black vs vinyl. I purchased the Aria 926 a few years back for about $2200 with free shipping.
Yes.... thats what he is saying..... double more for a different finish, just consider what the rest is worth if a different finish doubles the price.... Markup must be in the region of atleast 450%...... but keep paying for your "aluminium 1 inch berilium tweeters" that apperently are worth beyond 15k 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Is this what "living the dream" means in america now?......

Love the Focals with the grills OFF!! It’s hard to ignore how gorgeous the Sopras are. On a side note, is there any news on Dreamedia being a McIntosh dealer anytime in the near future? Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
Very good, i hope you have reinforced glass windows, and a good alarm, and a neighbourhood that actually cares if your alarm goes off....... most people dont challange thieves as they dont like to be stabbed or shot...... Most people wouldn't know the difference anyway.......
The "woofers" at the top with the thinner centers are actually mid range drivers.... would you even know what a 3.5 way crossover is?.... You make an excelent salesman, ever thaught of going into politics, it would make a refreshing change from all the ex car salesmen...... 😂
Do you even know the company that is Focal? if you knew, then you would know - how advanced and prominent they make their speakers, and how good they are with technology and construction with their speaker line-ups.

People of all money and sizes like high end audio. Personally, I would lean on Focal for Hi-Fi or a very expensive home theater. Average consumer is going to go with Choras and the 100 series ceiling/wall speakers. I have walked into houses though with 100k home theaters. Not as common as Klipsch, but this is a whole level up in quality/performance.
since we have debuted focal we have been selling all kinds. Its a nice company to represent. They make premium speakers at a reasonable price per performance ratio
I wonder the value of sound ??.... When i hear 1k's values of sound against another sound, that sounds virtually the same but is valued at 15k played through another speaker.... Could i tell 14k's worth of value, and the older i get, the less i will be able to tell........ If you walked past a house with its window open, could you put a dollar value at the quality of sound you are listening to, or equate dollars to clarity?.......... Just an amazing way of thinking, but "conformation bias" after a 30k spend from your bank will reassure you that you were right, and the "kings new speakers" syndrome (as in clothes) wont come into play for you personally..... what everybody else thinks is irrelevant as you were the one that spent the 30k, and if they want to keep feeding of your generosity they will have to agree with you........ now theres a paradox, what do people truly think who haven't spent that money?......
@@victorignacioflorescariman1551 Ahem, the Chora 826-D is an Atmos enabled speaker with a full range bouncing 5 inch driver. But either way, having in-ceiling speakers will always be better. Oh and also, Klipsch ain't even worthy enough to wash the ground Focal is occupying.

The Kanta 2 - can always add the Sopra SW1000 active subwoofer (which I have with the Electra 1008BE2's) in case you really need that subsonic bass...
I love Focal. I have 2020 and 2022 Utopia headphones. Amazing! Just bought pair of Aria 2K 936 LE. Very impressed.

Kanta 2 is fantastic. Played them through a McIntosh preamp c49 with amp mc462. Magnificent
You should hear them through a pair of mc275s, tubes make them magical.

For 2.5 in a small room is it worth upgrading from the Aria (948) to a Kanta or Sopra? I've been very tempted by the Be tweeter....
Love the Focals with the grills OFF!! It’s hard to ignore how gorgeous the Sopras are. On a side note, is there any news on Dreamedia being a McIntosh dealer anytime in the near future? Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
yes. we have been approved. We are about to announce it once all paperwork is finalized
I have a question. What's the difference between the twitter of the kanta series and the chora?
Kanta has the beryllium inverted dome tweeter the chora is aluminum
great test! where would you place Elektra 1028Be?
They're around the Kantas. IIRC the Elektra have the beryllium tweeter and the Utopia woofers.
I have the 2nd 1 I'm my car (kinda) focal flax and flax evo

love the aria serie great soundig loudspeakers!
Sopra 2 and Sopra 1 owner powered by McIntosh 300 watts per channel Sopra 2 are the best pure quality N1 ar so good for small room
FOCAL ALL DAY ALL THE WAY!
Bruh 826d is the sweet spot
Reviewed speakers right after unboxing them nice!
They will be re-boxed and sold as new, quickly unpacked before owner realises that they are just "shop soiled ex-display" models......... 😮💨
