I recently had the pleasure of attending a Regina Carter concert in a hall to which I am familiar. What an incredible concert and evening of new music. I bought one of her "Southern Comfort" cd's and was anxious to hear it at home.

Wow the tones of her violin were not as I expected with the speakers I was currently using. Time to switch speakers until I matched the tones I so enjoyed. I found a match of tone from speakers I own.

The Focal 806V's were the closest in tone to the violin I heard hours before. The other instruments sounded natural with the exception of the drums. The drummer was amazing and that percussive nature would be hard to reproduce the impact of the drum kit with small stand mount speakers.

It was a benefit to hear music and then home to select speakers that match that tone. The 806V's produce the music as I heard it. It is a joy every time I drop a cd or lp into the mix.
