Seller's Description

Focal Chora 806 Bookshelf Loudspeakers Hello.   For sale is a pair of Focal Chora 806 speakers with matching Focal stands. (2 speakers and 2 stands)   Finished in walnut. These come with additional accessories including magnetic speaker grilles, stand spikes, rubber feet and user manual.   These are superb speakers with an excellent mid-range that offers a tonne of micro-detail. I’ve used them with both Class AB and D amplification with great success. I intended to use these in a secondary system for home theatre duties but my wife and children had other plans.   Online reviews available from:

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A$575 is a strong deal: it sits below the A$623 25th percentile and well under the A$648 median for recent comparable AUD listings. For a tidy, working pair, that’s the kind of gap that makes this look genuinely good rather than merely acceptable.

This model is well regarded for bringing a clean, lively Focal presentation in a compact stand-mount format, with good clarity, imaging, and enough scale to make a serious secondary system. In excellent condition, the upside is straightforward: you’re buying into a respected bookshelf speaker at a price that leaves room for stands, cables, or a quick refresh without getting upside-down on value.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Focal

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.
