Litespeed Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 * Item full name and model etc: Focal Chorus 826V 3-way Bass Reflex Speakers* Location: Sydney. Pickup from Lower Nth Shore. * Item condition description: These are Focal's TOTL speaker in the Chorus range. I've had a few different speakers through the house & kept coming back to these until now. They are a 3-way bass-reflex speaker design with both front & downward firing ports, Focal's legendary 6.5" mid & 2x 6.5" bass polygrass drivers & topped off with their 1" inverted dome tweeter. My experience is that they deliver extreamly tight & agile bass with a superbe blend of mid & high range tones to balance out a living space. They appear to expecially enjoy being driven by good valve amplification and equally by my Sansui AU-717. Being highly efficient, they can be driven by relativly low power amps as well. As you can see from the pictures, they are in pretty much prestine condition both with & without the grills. A mix of darkish woodgrain finish, coupled with high shine black inlays onto a solid heavy cast plinth foundation with adjustable feet. Even the factory plastic is still on rear of speakers too! Technical: 8ohm, 220watt & 91.5dB Sensitivity. Frew Resp: 45Hz - 28kHz. They are pretty heavy at 26kg each. Dimensions: 1038(h) x 282(w) x375(d). * Price and price conditions: $1700neg (+SNA donation). Let me know if this is unreasonable & I will amend, but so far it seems fair.* Reason for selling: Going/gone in a different direction.* Payment Methods: Cash on pickup.* Extra Info: Only blemish to mention is shown on last pic (rear of tower). Very small but worth mentioning all the same. Otherwise perfect.* Pictures: See below. 2
Bob28 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Wish this was in Brisbane... I would have grabbed it. No chance for a drive up to Brissie? Joking. GLWS. 1
Darren69 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Excellent example of a well presented advertisement and fantastic speakers (I might be biased). Someone will get a significant upgrade for a very reasonable price. GLWTS. 1
Raiden Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 If these sound as good as they look, whoever buys these will be very happy! GLWTS 1
tellmidd Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I have heard these excellent speakers in person and will make great addition to any set up. GLWS 1
dirktoggler Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Excellent price on some very good speakers. Fantastic bang for buck to be had here. If I were in the market for some floor standers, I'd be driving to Sydney. 1
blybo Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 GLWTS, I have the W version of these in my home theatre and they are fantastic speakers. They are especially good for potential owners with less than ideal positioning options due to the downward and front firing ports. 1
