Delivering smooth, balanced sound, within a compact and stylish cabinet, the Focal Chora 806 is a big hitter.
The perfect speaker for smaller rooms
Designed for bookshelf or, ideally, standmount placement, the Chora 806 speakers are ideal for stereo sound in smaller rooms. They also make excellent satellite speakers within a high-end AV speaker system. Thanks to their front-facing bass port, these stylish Focal speakers work well placed closer to a rear wall than usual.
Slatefiber cone for balanced sound
The three characteristics required for smooth, natural sound from a speaker driver are rigidity, lightness and damping. Focal’s impressive new Slatefiber cone hits all three targets – and then some. Using non-woven, carbon fibres, sandwiched between layers of thermoplastic polymer, the woofer cone provides the perfect composition for smooth, precise sound – whatever the type of music.
TNF tweeters for smooth precision
Derived from the reference Focal Utopia’s Beryllium tweeter, the TNF tweeters use aluminium and magnesium with Poron suspension for an exceptionally smooth yet detailed sound. The Poron surround reduces distortion at a point critical to human hearing, giving silky-smooth treble. The classic Focal inverted dome is also present – helping to give a broader spread of sound in your room.
Sleek style – just choose your colour
Crisp, contemporary design makes these speakers stand out, without jarring. The crisp edges contrast with the magnetically attached, circular grille. Choose between black, dark wood and light wood finishes for a style that best suits your room.
Make a connection with your music, with the Focal Chora 806.

Warm, Detailed and Engaging!
I purchased these almost 4 weeks ago after a demo at the Eton store who recommended these. I was immediately impressed with the sound quality and the scale of the soundstage produced by a pair of bookshelf speakers that is often produced by floorstanders.
Paired up with a Marantz PM6004 amplifier, I hear detail in soundtracks that was previously missing, bringing a whole new experience to music. The build and finish is of good quality & the dark wood finish is the best IMO.
I highly recommend these to those who want a step up in sound quality without breaking the bank.

Deep sound combined with great clarity
I've tried the speakers with rock, classical and jazz, played from CD, vinyl and streaming. For all three genres the sound is deep but with great sharpness. As the volume increases there's no deterioration in quality, although you might want to turn down the bass on your amp if you prefer a softer sound. They seem very sturdy and look great. NB. My amp (also from Richer) is a Marantz Melody X M-CR612.

Lovely sound
Bought to complete a new system. Project debut carbon eco and Cambridge audio axr85. Am really pleased with the sound especially now that I have used for long enough for the woofer to bed in. Not ideally placed in the room but nonetheless a step change from my ‘90s Denons.

Good all round. Treble not harsh
I have chosen them as my first more serious loudspeakers after listening to many in this price range. They are good all round with no serious drawbacks. Treble is detailed and vivid, but not harsh, unlike many speakers with metal tweeters in this price range. Sound of drums and cymbals is natural and compelling, noticed even by my non-audiophile friend. They were bought with the help of a great salesperson Tomasz in the Edinburgh's branch of Richer Sounds.

Only fifty hours on them so far
Bought for a bedroom system, they have been better than expected so far. They are transparent and if they do have a character of their own it is detailed and clean. There is no waste or overhang in the sound. With an already bright light system I would wonder if they would get too splashy at the top, but with Naim CD, Nait amp and Bluesound Node2i they are excellent.

Excellent performance for the money
Brilliant range and precise spatial definition. Old favourites sounding new. Should have taken the plunge sooner and replaced my 20 year old AR speakers years ago.
