Compared with a generic budget sub at the same money, €40 for a Cub 2 is a very strong buy: recent used asks cluster more like €75–€100, with some listings around €95, €99, and even €120 or higher, while one used sale in the broader market is down near €40. That puts this listing at the low end of the market and comfortably below typical asking levels, so it reads as a bargain rather than a fair price.
The Cub 2 is well-regarded as a compact active sub that can add proper low-end weight to small hi-fi or home-cinema systems without taking over the room, which is exactly why people still chase them used. At this price, the upside is obvious if it powers up cleanly, the driver is intact, and there’s no humming, crackling, or amp trouble; if those basics check out, this is the kind of sleeper buy that’s easy to justify.

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.
