The difference between the Chorus 700 and 800 series speakers is cabinet thickness, finish and the 800 series floorstanding models add a bottom port. The listed specs on the 706v and 806v are identical and the price difference is $250. I'd be willing to be it would be nearly impossible to tell them apart in a blind test.

Consider the Focal 706v as it has the same drivers as the 806v for less money. The only difference is the cabinet thickness and finish. My local Focal dealer recommends the 706v for a bookshelf and then goes to the 800 Chorus series for the floorstanding speakers. The 807v is a model that is unique to the 800 series that might also be of interest to you.

I've only heard a couple of PSB speakers and while they sound good I prefer the Focal sound.
