Beautiful Focal Center in Light Alder Wood, Made in France
The CC70S Center has very Focal innovation built-in: the 13cm mid/bass unit is one of the company’s Polyglass drivers, in which the cellulose surface is covered with minute hollow glass spheres, while the 25mm tweeter is an all-new aluminum/magnesium inverted dome design Focal calls TNV2.
It’s mounted in a suspension system using Poron microcellular urethane, used to ensure linearity and a flatter frequency response up to 30kHz without break-up, and assembled using the surface tension of the adhesive employed, to minimize the amount required and thus the weight. As Focal puts it, ‘the masses in high frequency units are so low that every extra microgram of adhesive is critical to performance’.
That’s typical of the kind of attention to detail the company brings to its products – and the kind of flexibility in-house production allows.
The voice coil is also kept small to the same end. The tweeter is fitted to the metal structure wrapped over the top of the cabinet and carrying the Focal logo, so even what looks like a design element actually serves a real purpose.

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.
