This is a fair ask, slightly on the firm side. At €549, it sits above the median recent sold price of €459 and well below the 75th percentile of €921, so it is not a bargain, but it is still comfortably within the normal used-market band.
The Sub One is well regarded because it gives clean, controlled low end with proper studio integration and enough adjustment to blend well with nearfields. For a clean example in excellent condition, the main upside is getting a serious monitoring sub without paying new-stock money; I’d still want to confirm the footswitch, cables, and that the drivers and amp are quiet at startup, but nothing about this price feels out of line.
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.
