Focal Aria 926/936

I know the comparison of these two speakers has been brought up here before, but most of the conversation seems to be around the bass response. Despite having slightly lower frequency response, does anyone have any experience comparing the two in other areas of the frequency spectrum? My dealer mentioned that the mid-range driver is crossed over both higher and lower delivering better sound.

I'm leaning toward the 926 since my listening room is only 15' x 15'. Also, the height of the 936 puts the tweeter quite a bit above my ears.

I’d feel bad if the OP ended up passing on the vastly superior 936 due to your comments. The difference between the 926 and 936 is not bass output, period.

I also have no idea why you kept mentioning the 948 as they have zero relation to the question and are so different from the 936 it’s almost as if they are a different speaker line.  Then you go on to bring up the 826, which is literally a different speaker line.  

Its midrange quality, bass quality, and bass depth. Very simple.

Sorry, but I can’t take you seriously after the first sentence.

Yes, I did read the rest. In the interest of keeping things civil, all I will say is you are wildly misinformed and short sighted.

Lets start with the simple comment thay the 826 is better than the 926 based on what?  The W drivers?  Focal released the Kanta with “inferior” drivers to the Electra, and increased the price by $3,000.  A speaker is much more than the sum of its parts.
