Hi, I have enjoyed my Dali Opticons 6 for the last three years, however the urge of upgraditis hit me and chose to swap them -under a relatively good bargain- with a set of new Focal Aria 926's.
In principle I had high anticipations on the Focal's (after reading several professional and public reviews) since they are reputable for being very analytical, balanced and with an excellent soundstage.
The demo in the shop was quite good, however when I set them up at home, the sound seemed extremely hard in comparison to the Opticons, even though the bass had more presence.
I could not keep up with the Aria's more than four days, and swapped back to my Opticons with relief.... (albeit at a minor cost loss...)
So for the time being my small adventure of upgrading is over....and shall be certainly more careful next time before parting with my Opticons
