Prachtige set. Haast in nieuwstaat verkerende luidsprekers. Het is dat ik geen afstand kan doen van mijn huidige klassieke b&w luidsprekers. Anders had ik deze pareltjes nooit verkocht. Zeer vrouw
Should €600 feel like a genuine bargain for Focal Chorus 716 floorstanders, or is the unknown condition a hidden trap? At €600, this listing sits well below the typical used market, which often hovers around €800–€900 for good pairs, making it a strong deal if the speakers are intact. Even against the current new retail price of €959, you’re saving over €350, which is compelling for a well-regarded French design.
The Chorus 716s are loved for their punchy bass, clear tweeter, and classic Focal warmth, delivering solid performance in small to medium rooms. If these are original-owner units with no grill damage or driver wear, they’re a smart buy at this price. The only caveat is the unknown condition: if the drivers are clean, cables included, and no rattles exist, this is a buy-now opportunity for a fellow enthusiast hunting value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
