Focal Chorus Home Theater Speaker System
The longer I am doing digital home news, the more I find out there is a huge selection loud speakers. Each with its own design, and flavour of sound. This $5000 complete loudspeaker setup hails from France and seemed to be a mixed bag of results according to the reviewers. As always, I encourage you to preview your speakers before you buy. When shopping for my lower budget set ($1,000k) a couple of years ago, I found pretty large differences in the speaker sounds.
From the review:
This Focal Chorus home theater speaker system is
hard to sum up. The Chorus 826V towers simultaneously sound warm and
inviting, yet remarkably uncolored — a paradox, I know. The wholly
excellent center speaker and fine surrounds are supported by a good,
not great, sub. In short, this system (indeed, any system we recommend)
should be heard. Cue up a topflight vocal recording, or a well-produced
orchestral or big-band SACD/DVD-A, and you may well fall in love. Let
us know where and when, and S&V will bring the wine and cheese.
