Hey all, I'm planning out my first ever Hi-Fi set up to move up from bluetooth speakers and the cheaper Edifier PC speakers. So I'm brand new to actual Hi-Fi equipment and wanna build a good streaming set-up, in particular for Hardrock & Metal.
I went into a local Hi-Fi store and got to compare the Dali Oberon 5 floorstanders vs. Bowers&Wilkins 606 S3's bookshelfs through a Naim UnitiLite. I liked the B&W's better but found they lacked some body in the midrange. In Metallica's 'Sad But True' the heavy guitars felt... not as heavy? It didn't have any meat to it sorta speak. After explaining that I liked the B&W 606's but wanted a speaker that had a bit more full bodied mids, or was less V-shaped in sound, I got pointed towards Focal. Which were on my shortlist anyways. But it's hard to find head to head comparisons or frequency charts. So to you, hopefully a Focal fanatic or somebody who experienced Focals over the years, how do the following speakers compare: - Focal Chora 806 - Focal Theva N°1 - Focal Vestia N°1 - Focal Aria 906 (very top of my budget).
What is the sonic difference between them? Which one most closely matches my desires for a punchy & articulate bass, full bodied mids, and clear (dare I say, somewhat bright) highs?
