You have got very good speakers. The focal seems to lean out a litte. The sound seems closer to listeners. My preference goes to the Infinity for their details but sweeter sound. Also their sound stages in 3D behind the speakers make us forget the speakers. This is magical. Thank you again for sharring this video.
Exactly, on youtube the sound quality ofcourse is different than in real life, but they are in the same conditions. For my taste, when i listen to the speakers directly, Focal sounds better. In my opinion Focal speakers are one of the best in their price range.
Im impressed by the music list you have there. Listening some of those from tidal on my Mackies mr5 sounding absolute great. Do you have a complete list? Would love to explore and meet some more of this! Thanks!
I wonder how those focal sound with rock? I have a feeling they might get brighter than I'd want but with this music they sound good. Tonally accurate maybe slightly forward and bright but never do the drivers sound detached from one another.
I have a yamaha amp, so i would take the infinity, my amp is balanced and i think the extra midrange and brightness of the very good focal would be to bright for me, my yamaha would sound great with the infinity, but both very good speakers, all depends on the amp that you are using.
The infinity's are certanly good speakers, but like the clearness and detail in the Focal's. I bought myself a pair of Dali Mentor 5, and the Focals have a very simmilar character, and may be even better. But you need to listen those speakers live and not in a YT video to really notice the character and differences
I think, actually, you cannot find a speaker which will not make Infinity sound really warm (even a bit muddy, slow but in a pleasant way) when being compared. It may perfectly fit some sources, genres or even the mood of listener :) I find it perfect for listening old cassette recordings. And Canton for 24bit digital music :).
Согласен! Середина и верхи Фокал отыгрывает очень натурально. В данном случае музыкальный материал академический, а это конёк Фокалов! Возможно на тяжёлых зубодробительных стилях и сольёт оппоненту :)
Maybe Canton Vento vs Infinity Reference a better matchup. I prefer the focals, it brings out details and layers in music. If it's too bright for you, go with the warmer speakers.
I had focal 836w, magna quantum 807. For me, focal are not speakers to listen for longtime, too clinical , that is the reason many people say that it is more transparent and the impressionist has more details but after 10 minutes my ears cpult not stand. And if you use an amplifier class d as pioneer it is even more clinical and transparent. Magnat was better , less clinical and detailed. However, I replaced them a d now tannoy revolution xt8f and 6. More homogenous, a real big scene and natural.
Focal is fast... I have focals, Superior imaging not so warm bright at first very fast for theater and games they are awesome, after they break in they're not so bright and sound organic yet Sonic, you start looking to see someone's talking in the room or tapping on the door, but no it's your speaker... for music I think set up and the room Dynamics become sensitive. different settings for music on your receiver need to be figured.
Фокал лучше,инфинити это бум цы цы акустика.Из всего хлама что есть на рынке ,единичные компании создают хорошую акустику за доступные деньги и это фокал . У фокал прекрасный верх и середина,достаточно сказать что в лоб сравнивал с Yamaha ns-1000m и ямахи звучали тускло но нужно признать ровно,это все её достоинства.По музыкальности ямахи слили,пришлось продать с огорчением,а ведь эта акустика так называемый hi-end.Были и динаудио,и хеко,дали,в пределах 1000$ фокал супер!
From my experience, it's not the Focal that are bright, it's the competition that is warm, as a lot of customer are looking for that sound. For monitoring you don't want a speaker that hide the defects and the Focal certainly don't.
I would go with the focal. Voices are clearer, cleaner, crisper. Definitely more detail. The Infinity had more base but not by much. Its base sounded bloated not tight as with the Focal.
Feels like The infinity dont want to let The sound free so easy... Same time are they better in The 3d and more true to The instruments... At first you fal for focal... But later i belive infinity is The winner.. Maybe other cables could relief The sound easier from The infinitys.. In the end is it allways The right combo that is The winner.. 🙏🧙♂️
Infinity sounds more fair, all Focal speakers giving a warm tone. I have heard them in person in the high end audio store. Still plays nice, if you are not a musician...
61i sounds a bit"honky" somwhere in midrange, lacks a bit high clarity. Focals have better clarity but sound harsh on few passes, i would like if music had few bass drum kicks or some floor toms to hear some bass.
@@vittoriocr7 good for you, I myself have the infinity speakers and they sound alot better than you can tell from the video. I also got dali zensor and ikon speakers

Love that music!!
To really tell the differences, you have to listen directly to them, but on RUclips, the Focal does sound better, especially the voices.

One thing for sure watching this video I know what the room sounds like!
I own the Focal 826w's. Paired with high-end Cyrus they are immense. Strings and vocals are marvellous.

Focal is the winner
Focal much better with voices, as usual

listen this on youtube on my logitech 2.1 for 27€. and i think how fantastic those speakers sound. thanx
Shin , you maybe still prefer Heco celan considering all the speakers you have been testing for a while‽
seems to be that the focal is more analytic and direct in response
The Focal sound is clearer and sparkle that little bit brighter than the infinity
Infinity 👌
listening that video on a pair of JBL Control One's and an active 20cm yamaha sub, paired with an old Technics 2.1 receiver. :)

vocals are better with focal ? Am I right?
Focal WIN
Focal!!!
Focal rules
Better low end on the Infinity, better voice output and clarity on the Focal. Both sound like winners to me.
Однозначно ФОКАЛ
ну и чем однозначно?! Плюс полтора децибела на вч тебя в экстаз ввергли? Или наклейка на излучателе звука?

To me the focals sound as though you are sat at the front, the infinity at the back of the audience, both good though.
Maybe Canton Vento vs Infinity Reference a better matchup. I prefer the focals, it brings out details and layers in music. If it's too bright for you, go with the warmer speakers.
i like the voice on the infinity system more. The focal is for me a bit to clean :)
Clean...that's refinement, Focals are a more accurate and refined speaker vs Infinity Ref.

Да согласен вот Focal 716 на джазе звучат превосходно даже по ю тубу правда цена 70 тыс руб.
chorus 826
Are the focal a good reference monitoring type of speaker? They sound pretty realistic to me. They might be a little bright, though.

They're in bigger cabinets hence the bloated soundstage
Focal и только он...!!!!
Buenas noches como tienes conectado del tv a el amplificador . Por q medio está conectado.??
Фокалы играют чище и выразительней. У Инфинити звук простоватый, без красоты тембров.
Focal конечно
Infinity muzykalniejsze,więcej naturalnego spokoju,chociaz Focale w pustym pokoju grają zanadto..
Focal +1 . What is the player u use for presentation?
I use the original TV player, and i connected the TV to my amplifier with a optic cable.

FOCAL !!!
Infinity loses clarity and definition, compared to Focal. Little bit of cabinet resonance noticeable with the Infinity.
Focal Chorus 826 W > Infinity Reference 61i
я за Focal Chorus 826
Infinity w tym systemie bardziej muzykalne.
“He who prefers Infinity to Focal is a fucking asshole” - Anonymous
Infinity all day. Full bodied and natural
infinity, the highs is too much..focal, the highs and lows are balance...
Focal better
Infinity is sweeter
Focal Chorus 826 W лучше. Инфинити цыкают жёстко с металлическим звуком.
the difference between these speakers is in the low bass zone, so it doesn't make sense to compare these speakers with such music. Show us low basss
Focal best,беднее звучит инфинити
No one!
Мрачная музыка.
неужели нельзя найти трек на котором будет побольше музыкальных инструментов ???
