Know before you buy
These speakers are recommended for use with amplifiers providing between 40 and 250 watts per channel. Because they have a minimum impedance of 2.9 ohms, ensure your amplifier is stable and capable of handling lower impedance loads to get the best performance.
Yes, the Aria Evo X N°2 is designed to integrate seamlessly into a 5.1 cinema system. Their three-way design and dynamic soundstage make them excellent for both high-fidelity music listening and immersive movie experiences.
With a frequency response reaching down to 37 Hz, these speakers provide significant bass depth on their own. While a dedicated subwoofer can add extra impact for large home cinema rooms, the N°2 is capable of delivering a full, rich sound profile for most music genres without one.
Focal uses Flax diaphragms because they are exceptionally light yet rigid, which helps minimize unwanted vibrations. This results in a very natural, neutral sound reproduction with high clarity in the midrange frequencies.
Each speaker stands 1035 mm (approx. 40.7 inches) tall and has a footprint of 371 mm by 294 mm. You should also account for a bit of breathing room around the speakers to allow the multi-vent system to perform optimally.
The Aria Evo X N°2 are passive speakers, meaning they do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to an external integrated amplifier or power amplifier using standard speaker cables.
