Focal Aria 926 stereo speakers review (can sound harsh if not using right equipment to drive it)

My impression on the focal Aria 926.Btw, i was wrong, the focal kanta now uses flax woofers too. Smaller than the 948 but still very good.
There will be a 2nd part where I go into more details what I did with the speakers. Focal are very bright, so careful equipment matching is needed else it sounds harsh. You can get them to sound smooth with the right equipment.

Great speaker, lots of detail, clarity, fast & light bass, good imaging and very refined sound. Need to put in a lot of effort to get it sounding good.

My final setup was

Accuphase c222
Accuphase P266
Exasound E28
Van del hul hybrid interconnects
Signal cable or Yter speaker cables are fine
Marantz TT15
