Ett par riktigt fina välljudande högtalare från Focal. Modellen heter Chora 826 och vann en Eisa award för "best value floorstanding loudspeaker" 20-21. Köpta nya av mig 21 och är i ett väldigt nära nyskick.
At kr 7,000, this lands above the kr 5,121 median but still well inside the recent used range, so it reads as a fair-to-slightly-strong asking price rather than a bargain or a stretch. It is not high enough to call ambitious, especially with only 5 comps and no clear model detail to sharpen the comparison.
Focal gear is usually bought for its clear, lively presentation and strong engineering, so the brand itself helps the case if this is a clean example. The main question is specifics: exact model, age, and whether the original packaging, grills, stands, or accessories are included. If it’s well kept and complete, this looks like a sensible buy for someone who wants the Focal sound without chasing a rock-bottom price.

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.
