Focal Chorus 705 S Bookshelf Speakers – Technic Dark Grey, Made in France

Great-sounding, made-in-France Focal Chorus 705 S compact bookshelf / standmount speakers in the Technic dark grey finish, with good overall cosmetics and fully tested, working performance.

While the Chorus 705 S may look fairly understated at first glance, there is a lot of classic Focal engineering packed inside. These two-way speakers use Focal’s 13 cm Polyglass mid/bass driver, where a cellulose cone is coated with minute hollow glass spheres to combine rigidity, low distortion, and excellent midrange clarity. High frequencies are handled by Focal’s TNV2 aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter, mounted in a sculpted top plate that is both a design element and a rigid support for precise high-frequency performance.

The TNV2 tweeter uses a Poron microcellular urethane suspension and a very light, carefully assembled diaphragm structure to maintain linear response up to the top of its range, with low breakup and a smooth, detailed top end. The result is a presentation that is clean, open, and articulate, with the kind of midrange “presence” Focal is known for, yet still easy and non-fatiguing for long listening sessions.

Cabinets are built from 18 mm and 24 mm MDF with internal bracing and non-parallel walls to reduce resonances, and a front-firing flared port helps keep bass response controlled and room-friendly even when the speakers are placed closer to a rear wall. Despite their compact size (only about 31.5 cm tall), Chorus 705 S delivers impressive weight and impact when paired with a capable amplifier, making them a strong choice for music-focused systems in small to medium rooms.

Key Specifications (Focal Chorus 705 S):

Cosmetic Condition:
Cosmetically, this Technic dark grey pair is in good overall condition. There are visible signs of use and a handful of small marks consistent with honest wear, but nothing that affects performance or stands out dramatically at normal viewing distance. Grilles and drivers are in good shape, and the speakers still present nicely on stands or shelves.

A compact, made-in-France Focal design with Polyglass mid/bass, TNV2 inverted dome tweeters, and the Technic dark grey finish, these Chorus 705 S deliver much bigger sound than their size suggests and make a great entry into the Focal sound.

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.
