What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights
Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:
- Focal monitors are noted for their "mid-forward" sound, guiding users toward balanced mixes, particularly in the midrange frequencies, which aids in crucial EQ and dynamics decisions.
- They integrate an inverted dome tweeter crafted from Aluminum/Magnesium or Beryllium, optimizing high-frequency dispersion and minimizing distortion through back wave absorption.
- Focal frequently employs flax or "W" composite sandwich cones in their mid-bass drivers, providing a lightweight yet rigid diaphragm construction that delivers exceptional definition and controlled bass.

Our summary
Product Strengths
- Neutral on-axis response, providing balanced tonality when the listener is directly facing the speakers
- Wide dynamic range, allowing them to play loudly and handle a wide range of sound variations without requiring a lot of amplification
- Beautiful and stylish cabinetry, with the Moss Green High Gloss finish being particularly attractive and fitting well in various living spaces
- Wide and enveloping soundstage, enhancing the listening experience
- Updated tweeters and magnetic fields help to create a clear and detailed sound
Product Considerations
- Due to the high mounting of the tweeter and its narrow vertical dispersion window, listeners with ear heights well below the tweeter may experience a decrease in sound quality unless seated at a significant distance
- The speaker's impedance dips to lower levels at certain frequencies, requiring a decent receiver with good current drive to avoid potential issues, especially at high SPLs
- Bass extension is good but not exceptional, so those seeking the lowest rumbles for movies may want to add a subwoofer
- The tweeter has an off-axis flare that can make the speaker sound bright in reflective rooms
- The grilles may add some diffraction to the speaker's acoustic response
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs RBH Sound 61-SFM/R: The RBH Sound 61-SFM/R digs deeper and has its tweeter at a more typical listening height, but the No.4 is better looking
- Vs SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles: The SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles have deeper and more powerful bass, but its overall frequency response isn't as neutral as the No.4
- Vs JBL HDI-3800: The JBL HDI-3800 has a very wide dynamic range, similar to the Aria Evo X No.4, but a narrower dispersion with a more even off-axis response
- Vs Arendal Sound 1723 Tower: The Arendal 1723 Towers have more elevated treble on-axis and deeper bass, but the build quality is superior to the No.4
Takeaway: The Aria Evo X No.4 speakers are well-regarded for their balanced sound, wide dynamic range and appealing aesthetics, making them a strong contender for anyone seeking high-quality floor-standing speakers. Another win from Focal.

Reviews
Introducing the T Series The T66 is the first model in GoldenEar’s new T Series. While it boasts several significant refinements of our time-tested design concepts, the T66 is undeniably a GoldenEar loudspeaker, placing beautiful sound and music before all else. Honoring the Triton Series The T66 honors the critically acclaimed Triton Series, sharing a similarly tall, slender profile; built-in DSP-controlled subwoofer amplification; and a driver complement comprising GoldenEar’s High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter, cast-basket mid/bass units, quadratic planar radiators, and long-throw powered sub-bass section. Onward and Upward Several important cosmetic and sonic refinements distinguish the new T66 from previous GoldenEar speakers. These include a dramatically augmented crossover design, high-quality internal wiring, a new cast-aluminum base and metal grille, and, in addition to GoldenEar’s Gloss Black cabinet finish, a vibrant Santa Barbara Red.
GoldenEar Technology stands out for its High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter, which moves air like an accordion to avoid the distortion common in metal dome tweeters, and its built-in powered bass sections with DSP eliminate the need for separate subwoofers. The brand delivers high-end sound quality at more accessible price points through its Triton series, which uses passive radiators to achieve powerful bass from compact cabinets.
Expand Details
Our summary
Product Strengths
- Excellent bass performance is a defining feature, providing tight, smooth, even, solid, and tangible bass extension into the 20 Hz range, eliminating placement issues associated with separate subwoofers
- Balanced overall sound, coherence, and ability to present music in a natural and effortless way is consistently praised
- High levels of detail come through with the High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter and cast-basket mid/bass units
- A holographic image over the seating area of a typical sofa is capable with excellent imaging and a wide and open soundstage, even when not seated in the exact sweet spot
- The Santa Barbara Red finish option receives high marks for its visual appeal
Product Considerations
- Still a significant investment, especially the Santa Barbara Red finish
- The metal grille covering the drivers is not designed to be easily removed
- Care should be taken with system matching, due to a slightly hot high-end
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- The T66 offers more refinement and a more 'of-a-piece' sound than the Triton One.R
- Has internal structural improvements that make it even more stable and rigid than previous generations
Takeaway: The GoldenEar T66 delivers audiophile-grade sound and aesthetics, with powerful bass and exceptional detail. These speakers are easy to incorporate into nearly any environment, and have the power to let the listener appreciate all the nuances in favorite songs or movies.

Expand Details
Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Extreme clarity across the entire audioband
- Spot-on tonal balance makes vocals sound real
- Standard-setting bass performance for a speaker of this size and price
- Wide soundstage and precise imaging
- Exceptional dynamic range
Product Considerations
- Bass extension is not terribly low for a floor-standing speaker of its pricing, and it isn't truly a full-range loudspeaker
- Partnering amps need to deliver sufficient current, since it has a 3-ohm minima at around 100Hz, and all of the mid-bass band hangs under 5 ohms
- Measured response shows a slight dip from 5kHz up to 10kHz
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- The N°3's kick drum had massive presence down to at least 30Hz, something the Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3s could never hope to achieve in a room this size, but the Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3s displayed prominent highs in the reviewer's room, to the point that some people found them too bright, but the N°3s weren't that extreme
- The Philharmonic BMR Tower digs deeper in bass and doesn't need a subwoofer to catch those lowest notes, but it is a significantly larger speaker, and it is also substantially less efficient than the Vestia No.3
- The Arendal 1723 S Tower also sacrifices some efficiency versus the Vestia towers, but it does have a bit more low-frequency extension
- The N°3 is among the only speaker models the reviewer has heard near its price point that can reproduce vocals authentically from low to near-lifelike volume levels, comparable to the Mission 770 and Paradigm Founder 100F
Takeaway: The Focal Vestia N°3 is a speaker that sounds great, looks nice, and can get surprisingly loud. This could be the right choice for those wanting good sound without an enormous speaker.

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Beautiful new light wood color that is very fashionable
- Performs well and is nicely constructed
- Sound-shaping favors those who like punchy bass and bright highs
- Excellent value
Product Considerations
- To save cost, the veneer is simulated wood rather than real wood, and the base is plastic rather than wood
- The bass was a bit too intense for the reviewer, requiring a sock in the port to reduce it
- The plugs in the banana jacks are hard plastic and difficult to remove
- The base of the speaker can be mounted backward if you don't pay attention
Takeaway: The Focal Theva No 3 speakers are a good option if you want speakers with a fashionable look and a sound profile that emphasizes punchy bass and bright highs. They represent good value.
