The K2 is a Focal designed and manufactured designation for a cone material consisting of a ROHACELL® structural foam core sandwiched between bonded Aramid (Kevlar) layers on the front of the cone and bonded fiberglass layers on the rear. The "K2" designation in this most recent iteration of the Aria speaker lineup refers to the woofer and midrange drivers. The Aria line shares technology developed for some of Focal's upper echelon speakers. The very interesting, inverted dome Aluminum/Magnesium tweeter, sitting in a shallow dimpled waveguide, is also pleasing to the eyes.Įach Aria loudspeaker has a tasteful black cloth over ABS plastic grille, held in place with magnets. The Aramid (Kevlar)/Fiberglass Cones of the Woofers and Midrange are a beautiful yellow. All drivers appear to be precisely machined and fitted. Overall, the fit and finish were flawless on every piece. The speaker sensibly eschews the glossy black topsides of the other speakers to tame those pesky screen reflections. The Aria K2 Centre Channel speaker has glossy Ash Grey side panels but is otherwise wrapped with that same matte black "Faux Leather" finish found on the front panel of the other speakers. The front panel of the Aria K2 936 towers and smaller Aria K2 906 speakers is an attractive and elegant, matte black "Faux Leather" finish. I unpacked each of the Aria speakers and was instantly impressed with the beautiful mirror-like, Gloss Black, and Ash Grey finishes on the tops and sides.
