Te koop aangeboden: mijn focal chorus 714 speakers in de prachtige uitvoering rosewood. Deze speakers heb ik eind 2013 aangeschaft bij een hifi-winkel in gorinchem en ze hebben altijd met veel plezier
# Focal Chorus 714 Speakers – Buyer Notes
Strong value at EUR 200. The Chorus 714 is a respected two-way design from Focal's mid-range lineup, and EUR 200 sits well below the typical used market range of EUR 400–600 for this model in decent condition. Given your comparable dataset showing a median of EUR 367, this asking price represents a genuine opportunity—likely 45–50% below the middle of the market. The rosewood finish is desirable and holds appeal. Verify the seller isn't liquidating due to damage or that the price doesn't reflect missing components.
Before committing, listen for any tonal irregularities, particularly in the midrange where the Focal tweeter can reveal cone issues if present. Check that both drivers respond cleanly across the frequency range and that the cabinet is solid with no signs of warping or internal bracing damage. Confirm the original grilles and feet are included, and ask about amplifier pairing history—these speakers can be revealing with underpowered or poor-quality electronics. Request photos of the rear panel connections and any visible wear inside the cabinet.
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.
