This A$1,200 asking price is a strong bargain for Focal Chorus 726 floorstanders, sitting well below the typical used market where pairs often range from A$1,600 to A$2,200 and new ex-demo units hit A$2,900. Even accounting for the listed “a few scratches” and missing grilles, the price is roughly 40% under new retail equivalents and represents genuine value for a 3-way design that delivers high sensitivity and solid bass extension.
The Chorus 726 is well-regarded for its French engineering, featuring Focal’s in-house Polyglas mid/bass drivers and an aluminium/magnesium tweeter that delivers crisp, open highs. Its 91.5dB sensitivity makes it amplifier-friendly, and despite a modest 48Hz bass rating, it offers impressive volume and clarity for its size. At this price, the missing grilles and cosmetic wear are minor trade-offs for a pairing that’s hard to find in good condition, making this a buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking classic Focal performance without the new-speaker cost.

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.
