Don't have a clue since I've auditioned neither, but having preferred Altec components over any mainstream consumer gear I've auditioned for the last ~45 yrs, odds are I would prefer the Model 8 overall in a small room due to its superior polar response.

As always though, YMMV.

    Ah.. As said, I'll probably go buy the pair. It's no more than 20 minutes to drive so.. If they do sound okey (gotta try before buy), then I'll come back with a comparison with Focal 826V.. :)

      Greets!
      
      Understood, they should theoretically sound quite a bit different to the typical consumer HIFI 'sound' that the Focal epitomizes, so it will be interesting to read your opinion of them.
