Focal Dimension Soundbar System Review Page 2

After auditioning a wide range of stereo music, I reached a few more conclusions. First, the Focal system doesn’t mess excessively with two-channel audio. The Dimension soundbar widens the inherently narrow stereo soundstage a bit but eschews more extreme DSP effects and their probable impact on timbre. Second, as alluded to above, while treble was consistently satisfying, the bar couldn’t match the airy ease and top-octaves fine detail, nor the “sweetness” on strings, of audiophile loudspeakers—and at high volume levels, it could get a little forced and peaky.

The Focal Dimension is an ideal soundbar for the audiophile in search of high fidelity on a (relatively reasonable) budget.
