3-WAY FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER
The Aria 936 is a 3-way loudspeaker featuring an elegant design and a small footprint. Very linear and with impressive dynamics, thanks to these 3 woofers, it is naturally intended for listening in stereo for monitoring-type activities. This loudspeaker is also ideal for setting up a spectacular Home Cinema system.
The intention was a return to the very essence of acoustics for those who are passionate about music. F cone are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass. The result is a more homogeneous sound, improved dynamics. Aria 936 offers a classic and modern design.
Appropriate for rooms measuring from 270ft2 (25m2) and from a listening distance of 10-12ft (3m - 3.5m).
For the TNF tweeter, we have brought two major evolutions to our aluminum/magnesium tweeter. The suspension between the dome and its bracket uses Poron, a material with shape memory.
This suspension method is directly derived from the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter, making it possible to reduce distortion by a factor of three in the 2-3kHz range, where the human ear has very great sensitivity.
The inverted dome’s spatial characteristics and very low directivity already make it greatly superior to the conventional domes used by our competitors. This guarantees an incredibly stable sound stage which makes the listening position much less critical.
The flax cones are made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cone are entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. They are made of high quality flax fiber enclosed by two thin layers of glass fiber. Flax cones are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.
The lightness of the fiber satisfies the criteria of high internal damping, high velocity and high flexural rigidity. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure.
These k2 936s sound fantastic straight out of the box,and after only a few hours are sounding better and better!,coupled up to my roksan system they are mighty impressive,I listen to a lot of classical music,and also rock as well,and they are fantastic with both genres,the detail is superb,build and finish is faultless I highly recommend these speakers
Exceptional sound. Beautiful finish. Versatile. Really enjoying them.
Amazing sound with perfect stage. Bass is really powerful. Brilliant high tones.
Pefrectly playing speakers. Beautiful workmanship.
I recommend all sides.
THESE ARE OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS SO FAR. RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX THEY ARE SUPER CLEAR WITH GREAT SOUNDSTAGE, BASS, MIDRANGE AND HIGHS. I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO THEM AFTER BREAK IN. BUILT QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Very happy with my purchase...straight out of the box very impressive sound need to run in the speakers for maybe two weeks or so to get the full potential
Certainly a worthwhile upgrade from my previous Acoustic Research Classic 18 speakers which have served my very well for over 25 years.
This speaker looks as beautiful as it sounds. The attention to detail is tremendous in all phases (including the packaging). The materials are high quality. And that's just the way it looks! As for the sound, the soundstage is impressive and these speakers are not difficult to place in the room to have them sound great. The sound right out of the box is impressive. I have been wanting to buy these for several years to replace a pair of really good bookshelf speakers. The difference is stark and these provide excellent immersive sound. This is truly a beautiful looking and sounding pair of speakers.
These are great speakers.
The speakers are rich and warm in tone. The highs are not too bright (wonderful) .The sound is lively with tight articulated bass, but not over powering.
Listening to these speakers makes me feel as though I am present during the recording of the music. AMAZING!

Just enjoy it.
Excellent and emotional… what else?
Stage is MA8900/Benchmark DAC3/Marantz CD/Streamer/Technics TT.
These are some of the best pair of entry level high-end speakers you can buy at this price point. Crisp and live like sound, excellent base. In a room approx. 8m by 6.5m and these speaker more than cover the range.
I have my eye now on the Sopra no.2. Can't wait to try those out in the near future.
Love these French made speakers, ce'st fantastique!!
Value for money. Great build and great sound.
Hifi 2.0 setup with Marantz amp, can recommend highly !
Just gorgeous in every way. They sound as good as they look. Top shelf fit and finish with great room filling sound. Signature Focal sound. Would highly recommend.
I was never really happy with my previous speakers (Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2) so I decided to have a listen to these Focals. Straight out of the box these sounded so much better than the B&Ws. I found the B&Ws to be a bit harsh in the treble and a bit too clinical elsewhere but the Focals are warmer and a lot more natural. I am very pleased with them at the moment and they’re not even run in yet. I would highly recommend theses.
Unbelievable musicality. Tight bass and clear highs. Listening to Miles Davis is like being in the front row of a jazz club. Coupled with the Isoacoustics GAIA II make the speakers disappear.
Casse fantastiche!!!!! Audio eccellente!!!!
Grazie infinite
A wonderful speaker! The sound is open and warm. Nice quality.
Still running them in but first impressions are they certainly have the WOW factor! They are starting to sound stunning after only a few hours run time. The build quality is out of this world! They are partnered with Rega products from the U.K. The synergy is fantastic, fast taught bass and smooth mids / treble. I hope I never have to move house though as they weigh a ton! I would highly recommend these speakers.
good
Focal build quality is one of the best in the market, they are some of the best speakers I have listened to. If you like clarity and audiophile sound these are the speaker for you! I have nothing but praise for Focal Audio. Glad I did my research before buying these speakers!
I have these for one year , fantastic soundstage, the music and vocals are precise and clear, also elegant black lacquer presentation. Highly recommend for a listen if one is acquiring speakers.
Marvellous, I ordered a second pair!
Peter(Belgium)
Amazing deep rich and detailed sound. Powered by a PrimaLuna Evo 400 amp and these things sound amazing. They are also as beautiful looking as they sound. I have the black lacquer and they look like a Steinway piano.
These are a pair of amazing speakers, crazy about the depth, air and dynamics of the Aria 936. I look forward to listening to them for many years to come.
TOP KWALITEIT
IK BEN SUPER TEVREDEN
FANTASTISCHE BASS EN SUPER TWEETER
I just bought a pair of these. They appear to be an excellent quality with a great sound.
Really love these speakers! They may not be high end but, surely a step into the world of serious Hi-fi.. They look great, have a very nice finish and build and to me they sound very very good.. Subtle, airy, more than enough bass, highs are smooth, and non fatiguing, great imaging also. Love’em!
Exceptional sound, reasonable size for home use.
is very good i have a question one of the tweeter is not working what should i do thanks
Great speakers
Had the kef q950 before wasn’t happy With them changed to the focal aria 936 well what a fantastic speaker well happy with my purchase. Next purchase focal subwoofer.
Toller Lautsprecher.
Kleine Mängel bei der Verarbeitung, aber kaum der Rede wert.
Klanglich beeindruckend, der Lautsprecher kann definitiv weiterempfohlen werden.
Beautiful craftsmanship, beautiful sound. Detailed and accurate mids and highs with a right amount of bass.
Just superb! These are my first step up into the high end speaker world and I'm just blown away. Very dynamic, detailed , full and natural sounding. No ear fatigue hear. No over extension on any of its characteristics. Not to mention they're build quality. These things look as good as they sound. Excellent excellent choice.
Listening to 2 channel music and home theater has a vibrancy & excitement that I've been missing. I should have gotten these ages ago!
These are beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to .... so glad that I selected these speakers for my McIntosh MA252 system.
I'm loving it!
Listened to several tower speakers and none could compare to the ARIA 936. I'm in the process of "burn in", but they sound great already. Very happy with my selection and purchase. The team at Wide World Stereo where very helpful and allow me all the time I required to make my choice.
I’ve only had them two days and am using them through an old amp and old speaker wires before the new amp and wires arrive next week...but wow! Beautiful, clean, warm, separated sound. I can barely get the volume above 33% because they are so powerful. Even at high volume, the quality does not diminish. Excited to see how these sound after a bit of a run in period and with the new amp.
I recently upgraded from the Focal Aria 906 bookshelf speakers. I loved the tonality and natural sound that I had with the 906 but wanted more bottom end for my larger room my system now occupies.
The 936 preserve all the beautiful highs and mids I have enjoyed with the greater impact I was looking for.
I couldn't be happier.
Amazing sound!
Look and sound beautiful
They are replacing my bw 683 s2. The Focal Arias have a noticeably clearer sound. Very happy with them.
I've the Aria 936 in combination with the Yamaha R-N803D. What a great sound. When I compare this set of speakers with other brands in the same category, this pair is by far the best set of speakers. Happy to have this Aria 936!
Some of the most exciting speakers I’ve owned in a while. The clarity and complexity that these are capable of blew me away in comparison to some other speakers I was looking at, fantastic quality and attention to detail. The clarity is incredible and fills the room.
These are replacing my Monitor Audio Silver 8s. The Focal Arias have a noticeably clearer sound. Bass packs a cleaner punch and the mids are clear with crystal clear highs. I couldn’t be happier.
Great, clean sound, deep bass, clear mid range and vibrant highs and unbelievable soundstage and vocals. Beautiful looking, small footprint, now i just need to find the perfect power source.
Great sounding speakers! Easy to drive. I trust the Focal brand because of their wholistic approach to designing a loudspeaker. Focal goes above and beyond all aspects involved in engineering a phenomenal sounding speaker. They design and build their own transducers and cabinets, which is something I look for when making a loudspeaker purchase. When you buy a focal speaker, it is 100% Focal.
Finally we have totally immersive sound with the Aria 936 and with the beautiful high gloss black finish a fine piece of furniture too. Love them.
Silky smooth sound, absolutely amazing
WOW I LOVE IT VERY NICE
Splendid
Excellent and very detail sounding speakers. Highly recommended for audiophile.
I am very satisfied. The speakers meet or exceed my expectations in all areas.
Anchor for my home theatre...incredible performance.
Just unboxed my aria 936 speakers and they made a great first impression!
Beautiful craftsmanship. Superb sound. Midrange clarity beyond expectations. I can't stop listening.
Great product, sound excellent then the price
I love it. The sound is so warm. Perfect for music. As compared from other brands, I can listen to these speakers the whole day without experiencing any headache. As a matter of fact, I like listening to these speakers if I want to relax.
Also, the speakers are able to deliver the drama when it comes to music. There is more emotion that goes with the movie because of the quality of sound that comes out of it.
Just got my Aria 936 speakers so I'm still breaking them in. Right out of the box, I am impressed! They appear well constructed and engineered. Seem to be not terribly sensitive to placement which is good since my options are limited. I am new to the Focal brand but am already a fan.
Got a great deal from Nintronics on an ex demo pair of Aria 936s, with substantial trade-in for my 1980's Rogers Studio 1 speakers. The Rogers are lovely speakers, but I just found them slightly fatiguing for long listening periods with modern digital music files. The Aria 936 is a significant improvement to my ears. They have a wonderfully crisp, clean, clear and incredibly detailed presentation. No fatigue, ample bass and just such sonic clarity of musical reproduction. The Arias are very large, so plenty of room space is required, but they look and sound great. I'm using a Cambridge Audio Azur 851W power amplifier with Cambridge Audio Azur 851N network streamer (which also acts as a pre-amp) to power the Arias and this combination is delivering excellent listening results - I am hearing things on familiar music tracks which I hadn't noticed before. With 200 watts per channel, the Cambridge amp has plenty of power for the Arias. Very happy with my purchase.
This is the third set of Focal speakers I have purchased. All offer excellent sound and value
Looking forward to a great listening experience. Impressed with the packaging
All I can say is "BRAVO" ! My music has finally come to life!
These speakers just make me want to listen to music all the
to the morning hours. They are an excellent match to my tube
amplifier and what incredible naturalness and detail they bring to
the music.
Thank you for making such an outstanding product!
Connected to Denon 2400H...played music from Di.fm ...and it is a best sound I ever heard... ;)
best deal from Austria in this Year ;)
Just Magic.....
Prachtig vol, warm, ... geluid
Perfecte klank op zowel normaal luisterniveau als wat luider
Geen vervorming
Zijn bij mij gekoppeld aan een Hegel Röst geïntegreerde versterker en dat is een perfecte match. Zijn zeer goed controleerbaar
Staan in een woonkamer van 40 m2
In wit gelakte afwerking en zien er prachtig uit
Een absolute aanrader
Ik heb ze gekozen uit 12 sets luidsprekers waaronder B&W, KEF, Triangle, Wharfdale, Dali, ...en kwamen er als de beste uit.
Love my Aria 936! Dynamics and transparency and separation is just so good!
Ceci est un upgrade des haut-parleurs Toy Tower de Sonus Faber, que j'ai eu pendant huit années. Je suis très satisfait du son dans tout le spectre. Plus de basse que les Toy Tower. Très belle qualité d'assemblage et le lacqué noir est du plus bel effet, ainsi que le cuir en façade et à l'arrière.
Sounds awesome right out of the box!!
Enceintes avec une très grande fluidité doublée d'une finesse dans les détails.
Mais pour moi, leur plus forte qualité: des enceintes qui ne fatiguent pas les oreilles et permettent de longues heures d'écoute.
Bravo pour la finition en blanc laqué
Beautifull
Hi Fi Heaven
Очень красивое и приятное звучание.
I absolutely love these speakers! The worst thing I can say about them is that they do what the do so well that they reveal every shortcoming in a lousy recording. But shouldn't all speakers??? They are my pride and joy, truly!
Great sound that fills the room and lots of detail.
Best loudspeaker brilliant sound
Hallo Focal Team!Ausser Naim Welche noch passende Vollverstärker empfehlen ?
HIGH QUALITY SOUND
It's now 9 months since purchasing the Aria 936 and they have gotten better with time.They have been used every day watching TV and listening to music. After listening to the whole range I decided on the 936 as the 948 were too big for my room. Having listen to them at 3 locations they were very consistent. One observation is that the 936 are more amp sensitive then the other speakers in the range. They require the best amplification you can afford. They sounded good out of the box, very smoothe and detailed but bass was not as good as I expected. They have improved in the last 2 months and now are very good and I just love listening to then everyday. These are great speakers and the best value in the focal range.
Very good value. Quality design and French manufacture. Sounds great!
Great clarity but does feel a fraction light. Nothing that can't be tweaked in settings. Great speakers, excel playing music.
Very precise, open and punchy sound. Burn in recommended in manual should not be done as its subdues the good quality that speaker comes out of box.
I have 2 questions regarding one of the speakers. 1. There is some sort of substance, material on the tweeter / center / outer edge 2. A number of fine wires hanging down from an upper edge of the speakers Is there anything that affects ljudd, future feature? I've taken a good picture but can unfortunately not attach it to this medium. // Lars [email protected]
BUEN ALTAVOZ, QUEDA QUE HACER EL RODAJE TODAVIA.

It will take some time in order to have my opinion about those speakers.
Benötigt große Räume, wie in der Beschreibung min 35 qm.
Excellent sound and clarity.
Does need driving to reach nice base levels though.
Looks stunning.
It took me some time to run in and find he correct spot for the speakers however when this process was completed the sound is outstanding.
Very pleased would recommended them but give time in setting up
Changed up from Aria 906 to 936. The difference in the mid and base tones was amazing. Also spatial image & ambiance hugely improved . The 906 have moved to the family room replacing Usher 520s. I use Naim Uniti server , Uniti Qute 2 and Naim Uniti 2. Delighted
Klang:top
Verarbeitung:top
Negativ:die Spikes verbiegen sich die Spitzen
Еще в процессе проверки и экспериментов, критична к расстановке по отношению к слушателю, среднечастотный диапазон хромает, его недостаточно, если добавить еще один среднечастотный динамик пониже будет хорошо. Однозначно детализация лучше, чем в Chorus726, богаче басы, смотрится хорошо. Пока впечатления только складываются.
I just packed up my old chorus 836’s for the dump! Upgraded to real speakers - Monitor Audio Gold 300’s. Few bucks more but way better sound stage and accuracy.
