It blends seamlessly with the floorstanding speakers for an optimal home cinema configuration. The Focal Aria Evo X Center Speakers preserve the essence of the Aria 900 loudspeaker collection, with its sophisticated sound quality and its perceived value elevated by high-quality materials. Available in three finishes, a Black High Gloss, Prime Walnut, and Moss Green High Gloss color, the Focal Aria Evo X Center Speakers exude excellence and will stand out in any home theater. By combining the Aria Evo X Center with a pair of Aria floorstanding loudspeakers, SR 900 surround speakers and a Sub 1000F subwoofer, you will have created a high quality 5.1 Home Cinema system.

Dragon Cable Recommendation:
We recommend pairing the Aria Evo X Center Speaker with the Black Dragon Speaker Cable. The Black Dragon Speaker Cable is a smooth, transparent-sounding cable that falls on the warm side of neutral, yet is very dynamic. It utilizes 4 x 11 AWG ultra-pure, slow-drawn annealed and enamel-coated copper conductors that smooth out the top end while adding bottom-end weight, making the midrange sound more musical. It's a great cable for vocals and a variety of music genres. Available in a variety of lengths and terminations, the Black Dragon Speaker Cable can be configured in standard, biwire, or biwire/biamp by custom request.

FAQs:
Should I get bookshelf speakers or floor speakers?
Both bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers will produce great sound. Which one you pick will depend on your desired audio setup. Floorstanding speakers are larger and reside on the floor, and must be properly positioned based on room size for optimal performance. It's important to note the recommended positioning of each Focal Aria Evo X loudspeaker so you can ensure you'll have room for them in your space. Bookshelf speakers are smaller and more versatile, allowing you to position them on shelves, ledges, tabletops, and more. Optional stands are also available so the speaker can be propped up and positioned at an ear-level height. Due to the more compact nature of bookshelf speakers, they are usually sold in pairs; floor speakers on the other hand - especially more expensive options - are often sold on a per-speaker basis.
How far apart should I position my speakers for the best performance and sound?
Every case is different— Speaker dynamics, room sizes, and treatments all play a very important role in determining the best placement. Every Focal Aria Evo X Speaker has specific placement details, which are available on this page, so be sure to follow those guidelines for proper placement. For more information on speaker placement please refer to our blog 'Closed back vs. Open Back Headphones: Everything You Need to Know' where we briefly discuss the sense of presentation with speakers.
What are Focal's Speaker Drivers made from?
Focal manufactures its own speaker drivers using proprietary technologies. Since 1980 when they released their first speaker driver, Focal has produced more than 8 speaker drivers, all used in different speaker lines. The Focal Aria Evo X Loudspeaker line uses Focal's Flax Sandwich Cone speaker drivers which are made from French Flax Fiber, producing a rich and natural sound reproduction.
What color finishes are the Focal Aria Evo X Speakers available in?
The Focal Aria Evo X Speakers (Focal Aria Evo X N°1 Bookshelf Loudspeaker, Aria Evo X N°2 Loudspeaker, Aria Evo X N°3 Loudspeaker, Aria Evo X N°4 Loudspeaker, Aria Evo X Center Speaker) are available in three finishes: Moss Green High Gloss, Prime Walnut, and Black High Gloss.
