Focal JM Lab


Hello,

Need some input here, I went to the store to buy the Focal 816S. I listened to the 826V and decided against the 816s. To my ears, I could swear I was hearing box coloration on the midrange. Now I am seriously thinking of buying the 826V, however I just read that the 726V has exactly the same drivers, just not as elegant enclosures. Has anyone listened to both?

Speakers are being used for Home Theatre. I have a EAD Preamp and Rotel Amp. I occasionally listen to music in this room.

Have you listened to the 726V vs the 826V? What did you hear?

Thanks

The 1027 was too bright for , but could have been the electronics, I heard them at Tweeter on Krell...
I think the 826v are the way to go, true there is little difference on the inside but cabinet build quality is better on the 826v and that can go a long way in sound quality. I own the 826 and for the money you can't go wrong with this speaker.
