I would add a pair of REL T/9i's. I listened to the Focal Aria line and I kept asking myself where is the bass. I also asked myself if audiophiles do not like bass in general. Even their largest 948 aria speaker lacked in bass extension. Adding two T/9i's will really help.
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
hi folks,
I just purchased a set of Focal Aria 906 speakers with stand, powered by a Bluestream PowerNode (not my ideal system but I had a limited budget). I think it sounds really good, but am wondering if an upgrade to a subwoofer is worth it, and if so, what would pair well with this system -- my audio guy recommended the JL Audio D110 10" Dominion Subwoofer, but that's out of my price range. Perhaps a SVSPB1000, for $499? My room isn't very big, and I don't use the system for movies, just listening to mostly jazz and rock (and classical).
Thank you!
