Short answer: pick the Morel Avyra 633 if you want sound quality that has been measured and ranked; the Focal Theva N°2 is unmeasured so far, so its case rests on features and price.
What the Focal Theva N°2 offers: A slim three-way bass reflex tower with a 1” aluminium-magnesium inverted dome tweeter, a 5” Slatefiber midrange and two 5” Slatefiber woofers.
What the Morel Avyra 633 brings: A 2.5-way floorstanding tower with two 6” mid-woofers (each with an unusually large 3” voice coil for better power handling) and a dome tweeter; the bottom woofer only covers up to about 250Hz while the top woofer runs all the way to the 2.2kHz crossover point.
On paper: The Morel Avyra 633 is rated down to 25Hz against 53Hz, though makers quote these at different tolerances. The Focal Theva N°2 is more sensitive, 90dB against 86.5dB, so it needs less amplifier power to play loud.
Price: the Focal Theva N°2 lists at $1,998 and the Morel Avyra 633 at $2,000.
Buy the Morel Avyra 633 if you want a speaker whose sound quality has been measured and ranked. It also has deeper rated bass.
Buy the Focal Theva N°2 if you want higher sensitivity, and you can wait for measurements to confirm how it sounds.

The Two Speakers In Full
Focal Theva N°2: $1,998 per pair Amazon eBay
Older model: the Focal Chora 816 (rated 4.5/5).
Pros: A slim three-way bass reflex tower with a 1” aluminium-magnesium inverted dome tweeter, a 5” Slatefiber midrange and two 5” Slatefiber woofers. Focal rates it at 53Hz to 28kHz (±3dB) with a high 90dB sensitivity, so it gets loud from a small amplifier.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Impedance drops to 2.9 ohms, a demanding load that calls for an amplifier comfortable with low impedances. Sold individually, so a pair costs twice the listed price.

Morel Avyra 633: $2,000.00 per pair eBay
Pros: A 2.5-way floorstanding tower with two 6” mid-woofers (each with an unusually large 3” voice coil for better power handling) and a dome tweeter; the bottom woofer only covers up to about 250Hz while the top woofer runs all the way to the 2.2kHz crossover point. Easy to drive at a nominal 4 ohms (minimum 3.8 ohms). On-axis linearity measures within about ±2.25dB: genuinely impressive for a tower in this class, enough that the reviewer said he’d have guessed a $4,000-5,000 per pair price just from the look and the data alone. F3 of about 50Hz and F10 of about 32Hz give reasonable kick-drum-level bass without a subwoofer. Wide horizontal radiation around ±70° with good continuity outside the treble region. Harmonic distortion stays under 1% THD to about 100Hz at both 86dB and 96dB, and using an 80Hz subwoofer crossover barely changes midrange distortion: a sign the drive units themselves are good quality rather than excursion-limited. About 20dB of usable dynamic range. No through-holes for spikes, so no risk of dropped hardware during setup. Measured bass extension of 50Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 86.5dB.
Cons: A bit bright out of the box: extra tweeter energy in the 4-7kHz region (which also shows up as nonlinearity in the early-reflections directivity data, making it harder to fully correct with EQ) reflects off nearby sidewalls and can sound tipped-up or edgy; a single EQ band (about 4.4kHz, -2dB, Q of 1) or absorption panels placed 60-80° off-axis on the sidewalls resolves it. Best aimed directly at the listener rather than toed out, since the top end already rolls off a little at wider angles. Imaging loses a bit of precision specifically in that lower-treble region. Multitone distortion exceeds the reviewer’s 3% comfort threshold at higher output. Real bass extension below 50Hz still needs a subwoofer. Not the same speaker as the Parts Express “Solstice” DIY kit despite surface similarities: different tweeter, different (ported vs. transmission line) enclosure, and measurably different woofers.
