description Focal Chora 806 Overview
The Focal Chora 806 brings French luxury to the mid-range category, featuring Focals signature Slatefiber cone (made from recycled carbon fiber) and a 1-inch TNF aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter. The sound is detailed, open, and airy with excellent transient response. The Chora 806 is especially adept at highlighting instrumental textures and micro-dynamics. The cabinet is elegantly curved and available in black, dark wood, and light wood finishes, making it as much a furniture piece as a speaker.
At $998 per pair, it sits at the top of the mid-range but offers exceptional refinement.
help Focal Chora 806 FAQ

The Chora series sat below Focal's more expensive Aria line and above entry-level home theater speakers. It was introduced around 2019 and became known as a midrange way to get Focal's open, detailed house sound.
What amplifier pairing makes sense for the Focal Chora 806?
The Chora 806 is a passive speaker, so it needs an integrated amplifier, stereo receiver, or AV receiver. Buyers often pair speakers like this with brands such as Cambridge Audio, Yamaha, Marantz, or NAD depending on budget and room size.
