Comparison of Amphion Argon2 & Focal Chorus 807V


Can anyone give me some feedback on these two bookshelf speakers? Which gives best over-all imaging and bass response (within reason, of course...given that they are bookshelf speakers). Both have great reviews, but I have not heard either. Will power them with a Cayin A-88T.

I'll be using these mainly for ochestral - choral - jazz listening...thanks for any input you can give.

Haven't heard the Amphion's, but I know they've got a great reputation. Keep in mind the poster's comments on the Focal Profile series. They are HUGELY different than the new Chorus V-series. I recently A/B'ed some Focal Profile 908's and the Focal Chorus 807V. They are a completely different speaker. I personally found the Chorus 807V a lot more detailed and engaging than the Profile 908's.
Just for example, I could identify certain instruments in the 807V's that I could NOT on the Profiles. Odd..considering the profile 908's list for about 1K more per pair than the 807V's.
