Review: Focal Chora Center Channel Speaker (2020 Hi-Fi Center Speaker)

[@Cabernetor]

Thanks for the video! I have a pair of Chora bookshelfs and wonder what would pair best as a center since the Choras aren't around anymore: Theva? Vestia? Aria(on sale)

I have Definitely technology BP9080x tower speakers and Definitely technology SR 9080 surround speakers, I also have the Definitely technology Cs9080 Center Speaker, But the Center Speaker is alittle boome no matter how I calibrate it, Watching action movies it sounds great but watching say a drama the voice is alittle muddy, I was thinking of trying Focal Chora center speaker since they have one of the best center speakers for voice clarity on the market for a decent price, Do you think the Focal Center will work with my other speakers?

Which 3 way center speaker would you recommend with the focal chora line

[@fathmi]

Can I use 3 of these chora centers with a sub for a 3.1 home theater system? Do I need additional amplifier for them if I use Denon X3700 AVR?

I have the Focal sib 5.1 set and I want to upgrade to this center, do you think it will pair up OK until I add bookshelfs of the same for the left and right channel? Eventually I think I might keep my surround speakers due to the flexibility of thier wall mount system unless you think there is a better upgrade option that would be a good fit for the surrounds. I would have to have them at a slight angle at the side of my listing position due to the design of my living room. Thanks in advance for any help you can give 👍👌

Thanks for your inquiry. The Focal Chora center channel will integrate well with the Sib Evo 5.1 system. Focal bookshelf models may be added later for front left and right. The Sib surrounds will blend in well with Chora up front.

@@WorldWideStereo I actually just bought the center channel speaker from your company as well as the 806 bookshelf speakers, and added the chorus 605 in the back! And it's off this planet awesome 🌎👌👍🤘

[@ubacow7109]

are they sealed or ported like the chora towers?

[@kman9387]

Center is sealed for better sonic performance!

Is the Center available yet?

[@WorldWideStereo]

Hi Mike - the Chora Center is available for pre-order: bit.ly/37YagQi

How well will these match with the Focal Chorus line?

[@WorldWideStereo]

Thanks for your question. The Focal Chorus products a being phased out. The Chora Center Channel, however, is a compatible match in a Focal Chorus system.

[@HereticHulk]

I sure wish I could hear a comparison between the Chorus center and Chora center. Or has anyone else found the Chorus centers to be underwhelming?

[@kman9387]

@@HereticHulk I just matched up the chorus bookshelf speakers with the 806 bookshelf with matching center channel in the Chora series and they are completely sound matched!! 👌👍

How do y’all like the chora lined compare to BW

[@WorldWideStereo]

I would assume you are referring to the 600 series from Bowers & Wilkins in comparison to the Chora line from Focal. That being said, it's a tough comparison since they're both excellent speakers. Each of these speaker lines use different materials for their drivers, so they are going to have different sound signatures. Definitely something you'd want to hear with your own ears to judge, but I personally prefer the Focal Chora. But, make no mistake; they are both great speakers. Just comes down to personal sound preferences. - Adam

One thing to consider is that Focals are the only handmade speakers that I have ever found. B&W are Chinese but engineerd in England.

Please stop calling video's a "review" when it is not.
