Focal’s Aria K2 is a special edition of the original high-performance Aria 900 range, first launched in 2013. The Aria K2 906 bookshelf loudspeaker joins the Aria K2 936 in using an aramid fibre cone that’s an evolution of the Polykevlar cone featured on 1980s JMLab speakers.
The Focal K2 cone is composed of a very light foam layer, sandwiched between a layer of Aramid fibres and a layer of fibreglass, complementing the K2 cones are aluminium/magnesium TNF tweeters, with Poron suspension for a smoother sound. The new Aria K2 906 has an ultra-rigid cabinet construction, featuring non-parallel elements – all in the service of reduced vibrations and outstanding neutrality.
This speaker comes in an Ash Grey finish exclusive to Focal. This premium finish – also seen on the company’s flagship Utopia products – combines with a leather-effect front panel for added elegance. The new Focal Aria K2 models will be available later this month (September 2021), with a suggested retail price of £1,200 / €1,498 / $1,990 per pair for the Aria K2 906. The Aria K2 936 is available now, with an SRP of £3,699 / €3,998 / $5,990 per pair.
