Really blown away with the sound of the Chora 826 ,they are just loosening up now after a couple of weeks listening and I’m sure will only get better. My last speakers were the B and W DM305’s which I loved for over 20 years but these new Focals leave them standing with their huge soundstage.

Brilliant, im happy with these speakers

在店里试听了826和emit 50，完全听不出来emit贵在哪，只是觉得826声音更亮，更清脆，更清晰，emit太闷了，憋着一口气的感觉，这个价格五星没毛病了。

I have only had these speakers a few months and they have been an incredible upgrade from my Klipsh Reference floor standing speakers. Finish is modern and eye catching and my wife was the one who decided on the light wood finish. She loves them as well and now is trying to redesign our house interior to match the elegant speakers.

Beautiful soundstage. Up front and very well balanced. Very impressed.

Still breaking in really but really impressed with these speakers. Sweet sounding with detail and texture/timbre. Plenty of bass and punch too. If they keep getting better then I'm in for a treat. Highly recommended.

Beautifully detailed with incredible depth and a soundstage you can almost touch!

Remarkable accuracy, clarity and soundstage. Seamless with the Chora center.

Strong, beautiful sound

Don’t judge me, but I purchased these Chora 826’s because of their dimensions. They fit perfectly in the area I set aside for speakers. I have them connected to my Rotel RC-1590 MKII preamp, powered by the Rotel RB-1582 MKII Amp. I cannot put into words the gorgeous, immersive, clean, crisp sound these beautiful speakers provide. I have always owned Bose speakers. My 901s didn’t fit in the new location I dedicated to listening to my music, so I took a chance on the 826’s. I couldn’t be more pleased. Just know that they need at least 20 hours for them to break in. At least mine did. I was initially concerned the bass didn’t provide an accurate, deep enough tone. So much so that I purchased a Focal Air Sub to support the bass. But as stated, Once the speakers were broke in, the sub truly isn’t needed. I’ll probably still hook it up when I have time to do it, but honestly, I wish I had been a little more patient for 826’s to break in. You can spend more money on Focals, but I promise you, these will be everything you hoped for… and more!

The sound is incredible nice, full of details with a lot of bas feelings.

Awesome speakers! Absolutely love Focal and all their products!

Great sound

I purchased the Chora 826 speakers to replace my Bose 901 Series IVs. Right out of the box they preformed as advertised. The sound stage is amazing with a perfect bass punch along with the mids and highs delivering a clear, Immersive sound. They are being powered by my Rotel RSP 1570 with a Rotel RMB 1565 amp. I couldn’t be more pleased.

These speakers are replacing a pair of Polk speakers that I love. I thought the Polks were good. Well, these are even better. They sound great, they look awesome. Sadly, I'd dropped one corner on a hardwood floor (thinking I'll be able to set it up alone) and the corner got bashed in. I felt miserable but that's life. I hooked up the speakers and immediately I felt a lot better. Listened to some good music and heard some instruments and notes I've not heard on the Polk. My immediate thought though was that it was a little bright. But the mids are awesome. The lows are very good but I still think I'll continue to use the sub. Love these speakers - they're the most I've paid for speakers in my life. I just feel bad about dropping them though.

In diesem Preissegment gibt es nichts besseres.
Im Zusammenspiel mit einem Cambridge EVO 150 sehr zu empfehlen.

Superb!

A remarkable entry level speaker! As beautiful as it is, it sounds even better. The level of detail in the highs and mids is astonishing. It's easy to drive and a remarkable entry point into what Focal offers.

Awesome sound at a reasonable price

very good details, staging and separation. Great mid range, bass should just be a bit more enhanced with low volume

Great sound for that price

Bardzo ładne oraz dobrze brzmiące zestawy głośnikowe w przystępnej cenie.

It is incredible speakers.

Amazing sound. Especially the mid-range. I highly recommend. Great value for the money spent.

Prodotto eccezionale, sono molto soddisfatto.

I needed to replace a pair of Acoustic Research 142's which were 34 years old and after test listening to several manufactures these hit the spot. Full sound very responsive speakers.

SUPER REINER SOUND

Had about 6 hours with 3 amplifiers, great response. Need few more hours to have a detail experience.

Outstanding speakers. Replaced a 1990s pair of Poll LS 70s. After about 15 hours, these speakers really began to open up. Honestly they keep sounding better the more I play them. Be sure to give them a little time. Mine are driven with a NAD 388 integrated amp long with an RSL speed woofer sub. These speakers are played in a relatively small room ( 11.5 x14 feet ) and are by no means overbearing. Obviously I can’t crank them way up but you don’t need to. They sound amazing even at low volume. These speakers are very detailed and you will begin to hear things that you never heard before. My music genre includes country, folk, bluegrass as well as jazz, big band and orchestral movie scores. If you are into acoustic instruments, you will really appreciate the authentic sound created by these speakers. By the way, sound stage is superb. If you are into a lot of bass, you will want a sub. On their own, the bass isn’t bad but you will probably want to up the decibels about 3 steps. I leave this setting on my amp and adjust the sub to pick up the really low stuff. Overall, these are lively and exciting speakers and I’m sure I will enjoy these for years to come.

很棒！

I went to test out totally different speakers - B&W and KEF - ended up much preferring the Focal sound which seemed to reveal more in the music and giving a really full big sound.

After I ordered the dark wood version, I was a little worried they might be very blue as they seem in some online pictures and videos but the colouring is more of a subtle grey tone.

Very pleased so far.

Simply outstanding - I have only listened to music so far, and yet it is like I am listening to brand new songs due to the depth and clarity of the speakers.

I've only had my pair of Chora 826's for a few days but boy oh boy! These elegant beasts are jaw-droppingly astonishing. Their clear clarity and expansive sound stage has to be experienced to be believed. The bass output makes my second floor theater room rumble as if that subwoofer were on! Granted, I am using an old school beast of a receiver, ( 240 watts per channel Carver Corp.). All of my connectivity has found new life, from vinyl to compact disc as well as premium streaming services. Absolute best purchase in quite a long time. Wish I could rate them higher. Two thumbs way up.

Absolute amazing speakers at this price point! The best ones I've heard in this category and even upper! The Soundstage is fenomenal and accurate!
And the design is great too. Very happy with this amazing speakers in my stereo system!

this is my first set of HiFi speakers and I use them with a CXA61 (I also tried with bluesound powernode) and they sound fine (I tried a few pairs in HiFi shops and these were my favourite).

I am very pleased with these speakers they reproduce my music beautifully they look great and as they break in I expect them to get even better. They fit my ear perfectly and they are a great value for the money.

I purchased the Focal Chora 826 pair after a one year period of online research and critical listening to numerous speakers in this approximate price range. Due to COVID I was not able to listen to all the contenders, so I finally took a leap of faith with the Focal Chora 826. I have had these for a bit over a week now and consider them still at break-in. I am very happy with the purchase and they match well with my system and listening environment. These speakers have very good imaging and the sound is complex but distinct in all registers. Very impressed with the bass response. I am a semi-retired musician and have had the good fortune to listen to several Focal studio monitors so I was familiar with their reputation for quality sound reproduction. These speakers make listening to music fun and for me, are the best speakers available at this price point.

Very clean and precise sound. All my records sounds much better then with my old Tannoy Jupiter 308. The presence of the vocalist improved a lot.
Thanks for this great product, I'm so glad to have it.

Listened to some music and was blown away. And to think they have not run in yet.

The speakers si beatiful and the sound is great

Incredible speaker

Shockingly beautiful. The first thing I listened to was Eberhard Weber's Yellow Fields. I have been listening to that album for more than 40 years, but it was like the first time I heard it. It was absolutely breathtaking. I had never caught the subtlety in the interplay between Brüninghaus on the piano and Weber on the bass. Everything was so defined and clear.

Nach ausführlichen Hörtests in verschiedenen Audio-Studios hat uns die Focal Chora 826 nicht nur überzeugt, sondern begeistert.
Hervorstechend ist ihre Fähigkeit Stimmen, sowohl Gasangstimmen als auch Stimmen in Filmen, hervorragend klar wiederzugeben.
Der freie, offene Klang - unabhängig von der Aufstellung - ist ein weiteres positives Merkmal.
Die Basswiedergabe ist präsent wenn die entsprechende Wiedergabequelle eine entsprechende Qualität besitzt, dadurch kommt es nicht zur Überbetonung im Bassbereich, sondern gibt das Klangspektrum genau richtig wieder.

Великолепный звук,услышал очень много новых звуков в своей коллекции винила,которых не слышал на своих старых колонках.

I read that these speakers had won an EISA award and went to audition them. The dealer here in Brisbane had an amplifier similar to mine so I sat and listened for an hour. These speakers presented a highly detailed and spread soundstage where I could identify the musicians playing. I tried them on all kinds of music from the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony to Santana playing Black Magic Woman with John Coltrane and Miles Davis in between. I even played some French music, Mylene Farmer. The Chora opened up pieces of music to me that I thought I knew really well. After the audition I bought them. I am so glad I did.

Das ist Hörerlebnis für ganz Großes Kino! Ich mehr als zufrieden.

The Chora 826 has been in my living room 5 weeks and they continue to amaze me. They replaced a pair of Chorus 714's and a Chorus V SW. The Chora soundstage is expansive in comparison. The clarity and range across the spectrum is significantly improved, and I loved my 714's. Yes, the lowest of lows is missed without the SW but the clarity of bass improved. My system which includes a Cambridge 851 Azure amp and CD player and a Renga P3 turntable along with a Bluesound Vault is now complete.

Perfekter Sound für Stereo und Heimkino.
Sehr detaillierter Klang, super Räumlichkeit und bei Stereo Musik völlig ausreichender Bass.
Habe nur bei Kino-Sound noch einen Subwoofer als LFE Kanal im Einsatz.

Absolutely the greatest speakers ever. I have had a ton of Speakers in my day but these are in a class of their own. The clarity in music and even more in movies is second to none. They are very full sounding and really suffocate you with pure sound. Coupled with the center channel it is one set up to contend with.

Exceeded Expectations

Marvelous sound, natural, soft. I am going to complete the whole set of home theater speakers.

I am very pleased whit these speakers which proves once again superior Focal quality.

Shockingly good. Accurate. Brilliant imaging.

The chora 826 looks beautiful as it sounds!
Build quality is top notch and have amazing clarity and depth,bass is punchy and well worth the money a must have.

Amazing product. Good price. Even if this isn’t the most expensive one, it sure sounds like a high-end speaker should. I’ve paired this with Pro-Ject Jukebox S2 with 2x50w of power and it can drive it effortlesly. Tight lowend and silky smooth highs! The second bass element does magic. If you want amazing value you go with this.

Very good speaker for the money! It sounds beautifully . Its an easy load for the tube amplifier .(stereo Push-Pull Williamson based with 2x 6B4G ) Only
2x10 Watt RMS Output!
If you have a tube amp, try this speaker! you will be suprised!

The Chora 826 speakers are sticking visually and have a fantastically detailed sound. with a front port I was able to place them closest a rear wall in my relatively small room and achieve a great sound. Very impressed with the bass performance. It is great to see quality products manufacture in France, Quirky base mounts help to target the sound. was very impressed with the quality of the finish both on the cabinet sides and the funky front panel which shows off the slate drivers to a tee. Still running in the speakers but I would highly recommend.
