As I look around the internet for opinions on Focal speakers, I find some positive comments on the Chorus 826V and not so much on the Cobalt 826S. I'm wondering if the sound quality really differs, or if it's perhaps just luck that I'm finding people who have had better things to say about one than the other. I've read where people have said regarding the Cobalt the midrange "isn't natural", the midrange is "out of whack" and "am I hearing midrange coloration?".

Any experiences with Focal floorstanding speakers around here? Do you suppose the Chorus series has the same coloration issues the Cobalt series has?
