Focal Chorus 714 S Floorstanding Speakers – Calvados

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.
