Focal Chorus 716 Floorstanding Speakers – Rosewood Finish, Made in France, Very Good Condition
Experience the exceptional sound and French craftsmanship of the Focal Chorus 716 floorstanding speakers—designed and manufactured entirely at Focal’s Saint-Étienne, France facility. Thoroughly tested and working perfectly in very good cosmetic condition, this pair showcases Focal’s renowned engineering in an elegant rosewood finish. Includes Radique’s “Bumper to Bumper” warranty and Perpetual trade back policy for confidence and peace of mind.
The Chorus 716 employs Focal’s sophisticated 2.5-way design featuring dual 6½” Polyglass woofers working in tandem for powerful bass, with only the upper woofer handling midrange duties for dynamic, clear vocals and instrumental reproduction. This configuration delivers double the bass impact while maintaining exceptional midrange clarity—perfect for medium to large listening rooms up to 320 sq. ft.
At the heart of the 716’s smooth high-frequency performance is Focal’s acclaimed 1″ TNV2 aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter with Poron suspension. This innovative design maximizes efficiency and precision while the lightweight polyurethane micro-cellular foam suspension allows free dome movement for lower distortion, greater accuracy, and fatigue-free listening. The inverted dome technology—a Focal hallmark—optimizes energy transfer and provides wide, consistent dispersion.
The proprietary Polyglass cone technology combines cellulose fiber with a surface treatment of silica micro-beads, creating drivers that offer the warm sound of paper with the incredible rigidity of glass. The result is stiff yet lightweight cones that respond rapidly with extremely low resonance, delivering rich midrange and punchy, controlled bass. Focal’s high-quality OPC (Optimum Phase Crossover) ensures seamless driver integration for a precise, natural, and stable soundstage.

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.
