Description

Pair of Focal Chorus 714 S Floorstanding Speakers – Calvados (Cherry) Finish, Excellent Condition, Made in France

Experience the refined elegance and precision of French audio engineering with this stunning pair of Focal-JMLab Chorus 714 S speakers from the early 2000s. Finished in the desirable Calvados (Cherry) wood veneer, these slim floorstanders combine aesthetic warmth with the transparent, dynamic sound signature that has made Focal a legend in high-fidelity audio. Tested and performing flawlessly, they are in excellent cosmetic condition and ready to anchor your stereo or home theater system.

French Engineering Excellence:
The Chorus 714 S showcases Focal’s proprietary driver technology, developed and manufactured in France. The 2.5-way design utilizes dual 5.5-inch (140mm) Polyglass mid-bass drivers—a technology that applies molten glass micro-balls to a cellulose pulp cone. This unique combination delivers exceptional damping with the rigidity of glass, resulting in remarkable midrange definition, tight bass, and superior linearity.

High frequencies are handled by Focal’s signature TNC aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter, capable of extending up to 28kHz. The inverted design optimizes energy transfer and widens dispersion, creating a precise, holographic soundstage that extends well beyond the physical speakers.

Sonic Character:
Reviewers consistently praise the 714 S for its “unequaled clarity,” “superb soundstage,” and “tight, fast bass.” One enthusiast described them as having “agile and very natural sound” with a midrange that brings vocals to life. While modest in footprint, the dual-woofer configuration delivers surprisingly punchy and controlled low-end response down to 50Hz, making them perfect for small-to-medium rooms (15–25m²).

Elegant Design:
The Calvados finish adds classic sophistication with a rich cherry wood grain that complements traditional and modern décor alike. The cabinets are constructed from solid MDF with non-parallel inner walls to eliminate internal standing waves. The aerodynamic front port allows for easier placement near rear walls.

Focal was founded in Saint-Étienne, France, in 1979 by Jacques Mahul, and began as a maker of drive units. Its home speakers were sold under the JMlab name until the mid-2000s. We carry Focal towers, bookshelf speakers, Sib satellites, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had nearly 60 Focal listings so far. Every used Focal here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Our best-selling Focal models so far: the Sib and Sib XL satellites, followed by the Chorus 705 S bookshelf speakers and the Chorus 714 S and 714 V towers.

The Focal story, 1979 to today

Jacques Mahul founded Focal in Saint-Étienne, France, in 1979, first making drive units. Complete speakers carried the JMlab name, after Mahul's laboratory, until it was phased out in the mid-2000s.

Utopia. The Grande Utopia flagship arrived in 1995, and the Grande Utopia Be and Electra Be followed in the mid-2000s. Focal says its high-end speakers are built in its own Saint-Étienne workshops.

Sib and Chorus. The compact Sib satellites and Cub subwoofer arrived in the early 2000s, alongside the Chorus range of towers, bookshelf speakers and centres.

Focal and Naim. Focal and Naim Audio came together under one holding company in the early 2010s. The group, later called VerVent Audio, set up Focal Naim Canada in 2019 when it bought its North American distributors, and Belgium's Barco completed its purchase of the group in April 2026.

Which Focal is which?

Early JMlab: models such as the Opal 706 (1985) and the Vega (1990).

Utopia (from 1995): the Grande Utopia and Grande Utopia Be, and today's Diva and Scala Utopia models.

Electra Be and Profile (mid-2000s).

Chorus: towers such as the 714 S and 714 V, the 705 S bookshelf speaker and the CC 700 S centre.

Sib and Co: the Sib and Sib XL satellites, the Cub subwoofer and the Hop stands. The Sib Evo of 2017 added Dolby Atmos.

Later ranges: Aria, Chora, Vestia and Theva.
