Focal Chorus 806V Bookshelf Speaker

A quality pair of stereo bookshelf speakers greatly enhances one's experience listening to music as well as watching television and movies.  The Focal Chorus 806V presents a warm soundstage with rich lows and bright but restrained highs.   These easily outplay others in its class like the popular Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) 685 bookshelves.
