2 focal 50 studio monitors great condition and barely used. 1 Or 2 minor cosmetic scratches but other than that, nearly brand new. Power cables included*
At €699, this sits a bit above the €606 median for recent comparable EUR listings, but well inside the market’s normal spread; it’s above the €286 lower quartile yet far below the €1,442 upper quartile, so I’d call it a fair-to-slightly-strong ask, not a bargain and not ambitious. For a pair of Focal monitors, that’s a sensible lane if they’re genuinely clean and fully working.
The upside here is straightforward: Focal monitors are generally well regarded for clear, revealing mids, good imaging, and a presentation that makes them useful for both music and nearfield listening. If the units are matched, quiet, and come with the right cabling or stands/adapters, this is the kind of listing that can be a solid buy at the right price. The main thing to verify is condition consistency between the two speakers, because any driver fatigue, cosmetic abuse, or repair history matters more than a small price difference here.
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.
