Focal Chora 806 – Bookshelf Loudspeaker (Dark wood)

Description

The Focal Chora 806 is a high performance 2 way bookshlef speaker that offers high end performance at a mid-range price. The secret ingredient of the new Chora speakers is the Slatefibre woofer, made of recycled carbon fibres. Carbon fibres are very rigid which is important for any speaker cone material. But they go beyond rigidity. These cones are lighter, more responsive, and have better damping than the Polyglass woofers of the previous Chorus speakers. As a result, the Chora 806s look to be better balanced (particularly in the midrange), offer better, tighter bass response, and respond beautifully to high-current power. For the Chora’s high frequencies, Focal chose their TNF inverted dome tweeter. This design is known for a wide soundstage that’s not seating-position critical. One new development in this iteration is the use of a material called Poron, which suspends the tweeter from its mount. This suspension is trickled down from the Beryllium drivers in Focal’s flagship Utopia speakers.
