Focal Chora 816 Tower Speakers (Pair)

Focal Chora 816 Features Innovative Slatefiber Drivers, Revered One-Inch Al/Mg Tweeter, Tilted Stand: High-Value Tower Loudspeakers Ably Serve Double Duty for Music and Movies

A sleek 2.5-way tower loudspeaker that can reproduce the sound of a cello as well as the furniture-rattling special effects of a complex movie soundtrack with equal prowess, the Focal Chora 816 bridges high-end sound and modern versatility. Leveraging 40 years of award-winning design prowess, Focal engineers created a cutting-edge woofer material called Slatefiber that plays with the kind of precise accuracy and absorbing dynamics often associated with flagship models. Completely designed and built in-house at the company's French factory, Chora 816 eschews off-the shelf parts and adheres to artisan levels of fit and finish. 

Weighing in at just under 41 pounds and ideal for rooms up to 325 square feet, Chora 816 is what listeners might expect from a manufacturer renowned for sonic innovations. Just look to the cutting-edge thermoplastic polymer and non-woven recycled carbon fiber used to create Chora 816's 6.5-inch woofer and midrange driver. Slatefiber's light weight and substantial rigidity enable Chora 816 to produce heart-stopping transients and tuneful bass – the latter aided by an aerodynamic front port engineered to lower distortion. 

But Chora 816 does more than just lower frequencies. Incorporating Focal's vaunted one-inch, inverted-dome TNF aluminum/magnesium tweeter, it proves both musical and capable of reproducing the dynamic complexity of the challenging soundtracks with palpable force and impact. Chora 816 also stands as the first transducer to utilize Focal's brand-new tilted speaker stand that dramatically improves time alignment and soundstage focus. 

Desirable traits like seamless frequency integration, natural tonal balance, and three-dimensional soundstaging are not usually associated with an affordable tower speaker. But these are the very strengths Chora 816 provides. That's what happens when a company pledges stubborn adherence to fine craftsmanship standards and remains committed to audiophile sound more than four decades after first taking up the mantle. With Chora 816, Focal succeeds in making the company's flagship achievements accessible to a far wider audience – yourself included. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.
