Te koop: focal kanta no.3 Hg zwart - hg zwart set van 2 (verkregen door inruil, in zeer nette staat. Doos en toebehoren aanwezig, met volledige garantie) adviesprijs: €12.000,- Nu voor: €699
Against the recent comparable market, this sits well above the center of gravity: the €6,995 ask is about €3,000 over the €3,954 median and also clear of the €5,924 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair. It is not absurd for a clean, desirable pair, but it is firmly priced at the top end of the used range.
That said, this is a respected speaker with a strong reputation for scale, clarity, and tonal refinement, so a like-new example can still make sense if the finish is right and the owner has treated it carefully. The upside here is condition: if the pair is genuinely immaculate, complete, and locally available, you’re buying into a model that tends to hold appeal with experienced listeners. At this number, I’d want standout provenance or extras to justify the premium.
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.
