I'll still back the Dynaudio Audience 52 against anything else at the
price, including the 806. Compared to the 52, I find the 806 a little
too hot in the treble, but I admit that overhot treble is a personal
'pet peeve', and the 806 is a fine speaker in every other way.

The latest 806s design has less high frequency bite than the older
versions. It does have exceptional resolution and can reveal flaws in
front-end components as well as recordings. The Focal HF units are of
excellent quality, allowing the use of a lower x-over frequency and
can operate cleanly well below that point even.
