Focal Chorus 705 S Bookshelf Speakers – Technic Grey, France

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.

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.
