Newer model: the Focal Aria Evo X N°1, ranked higher, estimated 3.5/5.

Pros: CEA2034 spinorama shows very flat bass response, with the reviewer rating overall performance “good.” Predicted in-room response is almost perfect prior to 1kHz. Horizontal dispersion of about ±60 degrees is good and stays even out to about -12dB before getting erratic. Woofer distortion is quite low at 86dB SPL/1m. Measured bass extension of 63Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 86.5dB.

Cons: 3dB dip around 2.8kHz. Some resonance around 800Hz, small directivity error around 7kHz. A dip in the upper midrange also shows up in the predicted in-room response. Distortion becomes problematic at 96dB SPL/1m, with a notable peak around 1.3-1.5kHz alongside broader midrange elevation. Discontinued.

How it compares: Just above it: Polk Reserve R100 - $1500 cheaper, 1.5Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Revel Performa M22 - $1599 cheaper, 1.5Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
