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.

High Quality Focal Satellite Speakers Sib
A 5-inch Polyflex woofer and a 3/4-inch Mylar dome tweeter in a 4.6 lb cabinet — 75 Hz to 20 kHz, 90 dB into 8 ohms, and content on 15 to 75 watts. Each satellite comes with its own integrated stand that doubles as a wall-mount bracket, so they sit on furniture or go up beside a screen without extra hardware. Two pairs available: one black, one faux wood and silver.
Impressive 3 Driver Satellite Speakers from Focal Sib XL
A two-way bass-reflex LCR design — two 5-inch Polyflex mid-bass drivers flanking a 3/4-inch aluminum dome, crossed at 3.5 kHz. 91 dB, 8 ohms, 67 Hz to 35 kHz, and just under 20 inches tall on a 5.6-inch footprint at 8.8 lbs. Silver finish. Mounting hardware is not included; matching Focal Hop stands are available separately.
Focal Chorus CC 70 S Center Speaker – Technic Grey, France
Two 140mm Polyglass mid/bass drivers flank a 25mm inverted-dome tweeter in a front-ported, magnetically shielded cabinet — 65 Hz to 28 kHz, 90 dB, 8 ohms. Built in France in the Technic dark grey that matches the Chorus 705 S. The original grey grille had gone tired, so we re-clothed it here in black; that is a change from factory. Condition good.
