Hi there,
I had Chorus 706 and Aria 906 at my home demo. I was interesed in arias since I saw massive advertising an allegedly compatibility with (my) naim si combo. Naim reccomends this combo with aria serias, but Focal pair it with chorus range, 706 to be exact. That's why I ask chorus 706 as well but not particulary interseted in because it was hard to believe. But that was an excellent decision since chorus range was much much better match and it was almost unbelievable how the sound was so good. Aria, on the other hand was polite but uniteresting and suffer compresion when you drive it louder. I noticed the potenial of arias but it didn't seem to match. Afterwards I got the information that the aria range is develeoped in conjuction with Unity range with hi res in mind, but chorus are good match with calssic integrated amps such as mine or xs 2. I would strongly reccomend that everyone should follow focal's remarks about room size because 706 can easily fill my room of 18 sq m. And the sound is impressive. So there's no need to exaggerate - that's my experience. On other occasion I heard arias with new atom and I defenetly realized that arias are good with streaming sourece - and I don't know why. But sound is different that mine. Mine is true hifi with every elemnt of music, while the atom/aria was more laid back and for background listening.
