A successful bet for Focal and its Aria 936. The speaker offers manufacturing quality and a listening experience that truly meets what we expect from a model of this type. Apart from a slight lack of punch in the bass, we cannot objectively criticize anything else; the rest just depends on your listening preferences. Special mention for the spatialization and the feeling of proximity, both remarkable.
Strong points
- Superb reproduction of stereophonic space.
- Striking feeling of proximity, especially on the voice.
- Precise and very well defined sound reproduction.
- Construction and finishes to perfection.
Weak points
- Small lack of impact in the bass.
- A V-shaped profile in the treble which will not be to everyone’s taste.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices practiced by all merchants for the product last month, with rules of security to exclude prices from shops whose VAT policy is not clear (so-called “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Mission accomplished for the Triangle team. As promised, the LN01 is both warm and precise. This sound coloring is a very well-mastered bias. In addition, the speaker has a particularly careful finish. What more…
