#145 Focal Aria Evo X N°1: $2,598.00 per pair Amazon $2,598.00 eBay
Older model: the Focal Aria 906 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5). See every Focal Aria generation.
Same family: the Focal Aria Evo X N°2 (smallest floorstanding, rated 3.7/5), the Focal Aria Evo X N°3 (floorstanding, estimated 4.3/5), the Focal Aria Evo X N°4 (largest floorstanding, estimated 4.4/5) and the Focal Aria Evo X Center (center, estimated 3.7/5).
Pros: Two-way bookshelf speakers with a flax woofer and inverted dome tweeter, easy to drive from a modest amplifier. Two-way bass reflex design with a 6.5” flax mid-bass driver and Focal’s 1” aluminium-magnesium TAM inverted dome tweeter. Focal rates it at 55Hz to 30kHz (±3dB) with 89.5dB sensitivity and an 8 ohm nominal load that dips only to 4.6 ohms, so it is easy to drive from a modest amplifier.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Its sibling, the Focal Aria Evo X N°2 tower, measured only mid-pack in Erin’s independent testing. Rated bass stops at 55Hz, so a subwoofer helps for full-range listening.
