I have a pair of the relatively inexpensive Focal Aria 926's. With faux walnut wrap, $2350. New Focal tweeter, smoother than their last one from what I am told, Flax drivers and glass too. Excellent sounding speakers, very musical and over 90db efficiency. I have a sub, but you almost don't need one with enough amp. I have heard the 936's are a tad better in the low end and I woukd believe it. If I knew that the new Aria line was this giod, Ibwoukd have popped for the 936's. Eithee way you can't go wrong. My favorite speakers in this price range are the Joseph Audio's RMS 25XLs and these are close. JA is pretty pricey nowadays but if you can find some of their older models grab'em. Focal did a great job on this Aria line, alotta speaker for the money.
Speakers better than Revel Salon 2
In all my searching of speakers the ones that keep coming up as a gold standard for great sound are the Revel Salon 2. They are also 10 years old so I figure there are speakers that are better. I propose 4 tiers of suggestions (common used price or msrp):
1) Speakers that are in the same ballpark price of the Salon 2. Say $10-20k.
2) Speakers that are more pricey: $20-50k
3) Speakers that are very pricey: $50k-$100k
4) Eye twitch Speakers: $100k+
Please only make suggestions if you have heard the Salon 2 yourself. Thanks!
