Focal Chora Series over 40% off. 826 speakers $699 each + free shipping

$699.00
+9 Deal Score
3,718 Views
Focal speakers generally have a heavy markup in the US compared to France and Europe. The Chora series is very well reviewed for clarity for music and soundstage for home theater and are currently on sale at both Crutchfield and Adorama. The sales seem to be across the range -
Chora 826-D tower speakers with atmos upfiring speakers are $1200 off for the pair [crutchfield.com]
Chora 826 tower speakers are $1000 off for the pair, [crutchfield.com]
Chora 816 tower speakers are $800 off for the pair [crutchfield.com]
Chora 806 bookshelf speakers are $400 off for the pair. [crutchfield.com]
Chora Center is $340 off. [crutchfield.com]
These discounts bring the prices down to what you could generally expect to pay in France. However even at the previous american prices reviewers were very positive about them. Most mentioned that you would probably want a subwoofer as well.

Pleasant is how I would describe them. Bright, but not harsh. I like accurate forward highs, and these deliver. Love them!

Thanks for the reply. I like detail too, not too bright. Guess the only way to know is to give them a try. Can always return then for $10 per box.

They do really well with class AB or tube amps. I didn't like it with my class D amp.

Received them. Horror of horrors, dropped the speaker and a corner got bashed in a little. Feel miserable but still managed to hook them up and first thought - a little bright. But a few hours in and they sound really good - they blow away my old Polk speakers - I can hear stuff I never heard before. Lows are nice, I think I will use my sub though. Mids are beautiful!
