I ordered these from Crutchfield with the free stand promotion. These are the *best* speakers I've had yet. Very 3D, smooth, plenty of bass and just soothing to listen to. Powering with a 100 wpc Cyrus One Cast. Not sure if I am going to add subwoofers yet.

Have had:
  • Infinity Qb
  • Klipsch KG 3.2
  • Wharfedale 10.2
  • Triangle BR03
  • PSB Image T6
  • Sony SSCS5
  • Polk Monitor 7

I think I can see why you prefer the Elacs to the BRO3's. I've owned both, as well.

Why do you prefer one over the other? I am a fan of the British sound but as I age I am leaning toward a speaker with a rising response. A little more splash with a little less bloom. Any insights y’all can provide would be greatly appreciated.

His room appears to be acoustically bright, and the DBR's are rolled off on the top end starting in the upper mids so they're a better match for that type of room. The BRO3's have a more lively upper mid range and top end than the DBR's and might come across as a little strident in a room like that. In my acoustically treated room, the DBR's sound a bit lifeless and the BRO3's more lively and engaging.

Chora 806

Love those and would call them on the bright side. Been searching out and listening to all the Focals I can since discovering I liked their sound. A newish friend has SO MANY speakers, lots of really good stuff. The 806 are fun to listen to, very engaging for me and did very well in a room full of much higher end or up the chain speakers. My opinion only.

I've been on the fence about a set of these Elacs. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours.

I've also been eyeing the Focal Chora 806 as well.

Thanks to you both for posting your experiences with them.

They look great and are on my short list. I think they would be similar to my Linns at a much lower price point.
