Fantastic speakers but reward good setup
I've had these speakers for over a year now and I've always been pleased with them, but a recent move around meant that I could get them positioned correctly within my listening room and this really did make a world of difference. I now have the front Atmos speakers on wall brackets so that the up-firing speakers are just above ear level so the reflected sound from the ceiling works well for Atmos soundtracks. The tonal balance of the speakers overall is very pleasing. They are clean, lively and dynamic and the sub packs a real punch when it needs to. Soundstage is huge and the general immersive effect is excellent. They work very well for both music and movies but positioning is everything here. Thankfully with their specially designed wall brackets they are easy to place and aren't imposing like many AV speaker packages. I think I will be happy with these for years to come, they encourage me to watch more movies.

So disappointing
I bought these because I wanted Atmos all in one, I've hd various 5.1 systems over the years and didn't think I would continue trend to update as and when.
Nonetheless I decided to ditch my downgraded Wharfdale DX2's, and after demoing the Focal Sib Evo and heard them with the vocal from theThe Magnificent showman it sounded out of this world they sound tremendous with music, so jumped in and bought them, I jumped to quick.
It's now about nine months since buying them i'm so disappointed, I've calibrated and recalibrated over the months and they never sound involving enough in 5.1.2 or 5.1.
I even had a rep from RS come round a few day's ago and did a calibration, I thought this had solved it at first, but now the system sounds as it always does.
So it looks like i'll dump these and go for a better Dolby Atmos setup, unfortunately I bought these at the original asking price, now they've come down in price significantly so I'm going to have to take a huge drop in price.
And make sure I test any new speakers fully.

This set was recommended to me, by a member of staff.
The speaker set that I had intended to buy had been out of stock for many months, and these were a good alternative. They were far more expensive than I had originally intended to pay, but they are worth every penny.
The sound is clear, precise and detailed. The bass is really punchy when it needs to be, and quiet, whispered dialogue is crystal clear. This gives me true “room-filling” surround sound, which is the whole purpose of the newly-advanced audio formats.
Only the front speakers have the height channels added in, so both front channel speakers need to be wired in twice. The rear speakers only have one pair of speaker terminals, and the centre speaker is exactly the same speaker as the rear pair (just turn it on it’s side). Each terminal can only accept bare wire, so you do not need banana plugs.
The subwoofer (“cub evo”) is basically just a large black cube, with a circular hole cut front centre. I have set the volume level almost a quiet as possible, and yet it it still provides a satisfying, solid presence, and is neither overpowering, nor distracting.
The balances and crossovers on this speaker set seem to be easy to configure,
If you wish to have either 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 speaker configurations, you will need to invest in an extra pair of speakers. I may consider this at some point, but right now, my front room just isn’t big enough.
This speaker array is paired with the Onkyo Tx-Rz740 Atmos THX receiver, and the Optoma UHD51ALVe 4K HDR projector, and essentially completes my home cinema setup.
Thank you, Richer Sounds.
I am so glad that these were recommended to me, as I would probably not have considered them.
(so, “thank you” to Joshua, at the store in Plymouth).

Beautiful sounding speakers
Bought these for a snip from RS. The front left and rights are a bit larger than normal, but the system sounds amazing. I haven't tried any Dolby Atmos stuff yet, but my Denon Amp supports this and it is just a matter of time. Both music and movies sound amazing. Fully recommended

Fantastic sound but Atmos? Really??
Bought this set as I am a big fan of Focal stuff and sound wise these really don’t disappoint but if you’re buying them for the Dolby Atmos effect then you might be better off looking elsewhere! I have a collection of Blu Ray movies that all support Atmos but there is absolutely no difference whether you select Atmos or standard HD sound. So if it’s good honest, high quality sound you’re looking for from your 5.1 set up then these certainly tick that box, on the other hand if it’s Dolby Atmos you’re looking to embrace these might not be best for you.
