Focal Aria 906 2-Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speakers Overview

If you crave refined, high-end acoustics then Focal Aria 906 2-Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speakers will be to your liking. This two-way loudspeaker features innovative design elements that bring out natural acoustic sound without distortion. For an impressive listening experience, the speakers are fitted with innovative Flax Cone drivers for rich audio reproduction. These drivers are made of high-quality flax fiber, which makes for tighter bass and improved dynamics. The tweeter is suspended between the dome and the bracket with a proprietary material called Poron. The result in a soft treble sound that reduces distortion at frequencies sensitive to the human ear. With a simply timeless design, the stylish speakers come in a walnut finish with a leather-finished front panel. Ideal for rooms measuring 160 sq. ft., these high-end bookshelf speakers are recommended from a listening distance of 8 ft.

Exclusive Flax Sandwich Cones

Focal Aria 906 2-Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speakers feature drivers with Flax Sandwich Cones. These cones are composed of natural flax fiber in a sandwich structure for a natural sound with low coloration. Flax fiber has low elasticity and high flexural rigidity. In these bookshelf speakers, the flax is enclosed between two sheets of glass fiber creating a remarkably stiff substance that helps damping and velocity, all qualities needed in a midrange speaker.

The flax cone is made exclusively by Focal in France. It's twice as light as fiberglass because the fiber is hollow. This is a key element in overall sound quality because the cone makes vibrations in response to the signal from the amplifier inside the speakers. 

Innovative Tweeter Delivers a Soft Treble

Technological innovations continue with the excellent aluminum/magnesium tweeter in the Aria 906. The TNF tweeter by Focal is a marvel of engineering. The dome and its bracket are suspended using a special material, called Poron, that remembers its shape. This suspension method reduces distortion in the bookshelf speakers by a factor of three at the frequencies that the human ear is the most sensitive. This advancement increases the range of sounds that come through clearer, expanding your audio enjoyment.

The other creative benefit with the Focal TNF tweeter is the inverted dome which creates spatial advantages. The bookshelf speaker’s engineering creates very low directivity and improves frequency response compared to conventional domes. This ensures the sound is stable and gives more flexibility when positioning the speakers in your home.

Elegant, Timeless Design

These bookshelf speakers are packed with innovative technology on the inside, encased in a sleek, clean-looking cabinet. With their walnut finish and unique leather-finished front panel, these speakers make a stunning addition to any room. Focal developed these loudspeakers to operate as both stereo and home cinema equipment with a look is ideal for both traditional and more contemporary interiors. Functional as well as stylish, the cabinet's magnetic cloth frame and ultra-rigid MDF construction result in neutrality and very little vibration.   

Focal Aria 906 2-Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speakers are designed for high quality at low frequencies. Bass reflex systems increase the efficiency of the speakers by enhancing the reproduction of sound at the lowest frequencies. The vented cabinet reduces distortion and stabilizes the Flax sandwich cones, helping to reach those deep bass frequencies.

Outstanding sound and great service
I’ve been wanting to upgrade my Chora 806s to these Arias, and I couldn’t be any happier with the quality of sound and the information I received from the support person at WWS! I hope to visit their store soon.

Very Happy
So far very happy with these. I have them in a small listening area and they are performing beautifully with an Audiolab 6000A amp. I also love the way they look with drill off. The flax cones make these look a little more interesting than many other speakers.

Very pleased with Focal Aria 906. Amazing sound! I have it hooked up to a class-d small amp and a mixer that connects to a variety of audio sources, including record player, streaming, Bluetooth, music instruments, etc. Great price too!

Perfect fit for the living room. Rich, deep sound that does not need a subwoofer.

Delightful...are they really bookshelf speakers?
I became a Focal fan, when I installed their speakers in my car. Mind blowing realism. Thanks to Worldwide Stereo's return policy, I evaluated the Aria 906 and Electra 1008 be with my home receiver. The Electra speakers are wonderful but they seem too aggressive (both treble and bass seem too intense.) The Aria speakers are also great, but as you would suspect, do not have the same depth of bass and richness of sound as the Electras.However, they are really easy to listen too and seem fully balanced without emphasis on either bass or treble. Listen to them before you invest in more expensive speakers, or tower models. You might be surprised!

How does this model (Aria) compare to the Chora bookshelf model speakers?
A shopper on Apr 3, 2021
  Thanks for your inquiry. The Aria 906 has marginally better specifications and improved bass extension. Subjectively, a walnut finish vs. the Chora 806 glass black. The Aria 906 is a great value for the price. For more information,call us at 866.961.7781.
How does this product compare with monitor audio silver 50? Is this product good for music listening? If yes, does this compatible to match with yamaha as-801? Does this product good to all music genre?
John C on May 5, 2021
  Thanks for your inquiry. The two models, for the most part, have comparable specifications. The 906 is a 6.5 woofer which provides somewhat better bass extension and is more efficient. The 906 is detailed and very musical and one of the best bookshelf speakers we sell in the price category. We dont offer Monitor and are unable to provide an objective opinion.
So is worldwidestereo restocking focal aria 906 at anytime? I'm trying buy 2 pairs of bookshelf speakers.

Anyone compare to kef q350 or q550?
Brian on Jan 8, 2021
  Thanks for your question. We have not compared the Focal Aria 906 to any KEF models as KEF is not a brand we currently sell.
