About the Focal Chorus 726
Powerful tower speaker performance
Powerful tower speaker performance
From concert performances on Blu-ray, to pulse-pounding multi-channel home theater, to two-channel stereo music, the Focal Chorus 726 floor-standing speaker will take you where you want to go. Its smooth, detailed, natural sound breathes life into every movie night, or transports you right into the studio with your favorite recording artists. Plus, this speaker's powerful, articulate bass adds a nice kick to whatever you listen to. Like the entire Chorus series, the Chorus 726 borrows driver technologies developed for their sophisticated world-class speakers, giving you high-end performance at a more budget friendly price.
Advanced design for natural, high-definition sound
Chorus 700 series speakers boast Focal's latest 1" aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter. Inverting the dome optimizes the connection between the voice coil and the dome, maximizing efficiency and precision. Plus, the tweeter's new lightweight polyurethane micro-cellular foam suspension allows the dome to move more freely for lower distortion, greater accuracy, and smoother sound.
The 726's potent low end and dynamic midrange come courtesy of two Focal 6-1/2" Polyglass woofers and a 6-1/2" midrange. These drivers are created by depositing a layer of hollow silica glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose pulp. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose fiber with the incredible strength of glass, for a stiff-yet-lightweight cone that responds rapidly with extremely low resonance. A butyl rubber surround helps stabilize cone movement and provides excellent long-term reliability. Tying the drivers together is Focal's OPC (Optimum Phase Crossover) crossover network for precise, natural, and stable imaging and soundstaging.
Stylish, vibration resistant cabinets
All Chorus speakers feature thick MDF cabinets with heavy internal bracing and non-parallel inner wall structure to resist performance-robbing vibrations. The cabinets have a traditional look that's softened by slightly curved front panels. An attractive woodgrain vinyl or textured leatherette/high-gloss black finish allows the Chorus speakers to easily integrate into just about any décor.
Built in-house for better quality and value
The speaker drivers in every Chorus speaker are built in-house at Focal's facilities in Saint-Etienne, France. Why is that important? Because it gives Focal complete control over every aspect of design, manufacture, and quality control — resulting a consistently superior, high-value product.

Features
3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker: The Focal Chorus 726 floor-standing loudspeaker employs a 3-way design which combines a 1" tweeter, 6.5" midrange driver, and two 6.5" bass woofers. The 1" aluminum/magnesium inverted-dome tweeter (TNV2) features a new Poron suspension material that softens the audio performance and provides smoother sound. The 6.5" polyglass midrange driver provides highly dynamic and detailed midrange, while the two 6.5" polyglass woofers offer high power handling and deep bass.
TNV2 Tweeter w/ Poron Suspension: The Focal Chorus 726 features a single 1" TNV2 inverted-dome tweeter made of aluminum and magnesium alloy. The inverted-dome technology allows optimal energy transfer and wide dispersion. The aluminum/magnesium makeup guarantees exceptional performance in terms of stiffness and damping, thus ensuring a subtle blend of softness and dynamics. Performance of the TNV2 tweeter is enhanced by its new Poron suspension material. Poron is a polyurethane micro-cellular foam which has a porous open-cell structure. This memory foam is very light which means that the suspension will not become damaged or compressed with time. It is an essential element of the TNV2 tweeter as the suspension allows the dome to move freely. Its uniform and constant physical properties ensure excellent stability and linearity, along with extreme accuracy and distortion-free sound. The result is a sound which is soft and precise and which offers improved harmonics richness and a more precise soundstage.
3 Polyglass Cone Woofers: The Focal Chorus 726 features three 6.5" polyglass woofers (1 midrange and 2 bass drivers). The Polyglass cone woofer has been a Focal tradition for the last 30 years. This cellulose fiber cone woofer offers renowned lightness and damping characteristics. But its Focal's special surface treatment of silica micro-balls which gives the woofer a huge increase in rigidity for a negligible increase in mass. The definition and dynamic capacity of this cone, when combined with a very powerful magnet, generate a very fine reproduction, with an exceptionally rich midrange/midbass.
Optimum Phase Crossover (OPC): The Focal Chorus 726 floor-standing loudspeaker utilizes an Optimum Phase Crossover (OPC) to seamlessly blend the audio output of the tweeter, midrange, and bass drivers for a precise, natural, and stable soundstage and image.
Solid MDF Cabinet: The Focal Chorus 726 floor-standing loudspeaker features a contemporary designed cabinet with high-gloss lacquer finished sides and a leatherette baffle, back, and top. The cabinet uses solid MDF construction (up to 1" thick), internal bracing, and a non-parallel inner wall structure to reduce internal resonance for less coloration. This bass reflex type cabinet uses an aerodynamic front port for greater efficiency and to reduce distortion of the bass. The Focal Chorus 726 floor-standing loudspeaker is available in a Black, Rosewood, or Walnut finish. A detachable black cloth grille is also included.
Binding Posts: The Chorus 726 is fitted with a pair of binding posts that will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, spade connectors, and banana plugs (single only). The binding posts are color-coded for easy identification between positive (red) and negative (black).
Rubber or Spiked Feet: The Chorus 726 comes with four rubber feet for tile and hardwood floors, and four spiked feet for carpeted flooring. These feet ensure better stability, no matter what type of flooring you have. The spiked feet are adjustable in height to combat against uneven floors. The spiked feet add approximately 0.4375-0.6875" to the overall height of the speaker. The spiked feet easily thread into the base of the speaker, while the four rubber feet have to be hammered into the base.
Applications: The Chorus 726 loudspeaker has been engineered to work with stereo systems, as well as with home theater systems. The Chorus 726 delivers the most faithful sound reproduction, whether you are listening to a music or movie soundtrack. Suitable for rooms up to 430 sq/ft.

I just bought a pair of the Focal 726's and they are astounding. They are the best speakers I've ever heard for their price. The sound stage is marvelous and the bass is excellent. Crisp, precise, and detailed musical nirvana. The build quality is superb.
