Focal Aria 948 Tower Speakers (pair)
Made in FranceOriginal Owner
Flawless Condition
Sounds awesome
Reason for selling- Upgraded to Legacy Focus SE Tower Speakers (twice as expensive)
Protected from lowest bass notes through use of a subwoofer and bass management
3-WAY FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER
The Aria 948 loudspeaker symbolises the return of the 'true' acoustic loudspeaker. A new type of 3-way loudspeaker with 8-1/4" (21cm) speaker drivers effortlessly providing intense and controlled bass. The intention was a return to the very essence of acoustics for those who are passionate about music. 'F' cones are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass. The result is a more homogeneous sound, improved dynamics. Aria 948 offers a classic and modern design.
This is the ultimate loudspeaker of the range for rooms measuring from 320 square feet (30 square meters) and from a recommended listening distance of 12 feet (3.5 meters).
PORON SUSPENSION for soft treble
For the TNF tweeter, we have brought two major evolutions to our aluminum/magnesium tweeter. The suspension between the dome and its bracket uses Poron, a material with shape memory. This suspension method is directly derived from the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter, making it possible to reduce distortion by a factor of three in the 2-3kHz range, where the human ear has very great sensitivity.
The inverted dome’s spatial characteristics and very low directivity already make it greatly superior to the conventional domes used by our competitors. This guarantees an incredibly stable sound stage which makes the listening position much less critical.
Flax cone, so original
The flax cone are made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cone are entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. They are made of high quality flax fiber enclosed by two thin layers of glass fiber. F cone are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.
The lightness of the fiber satisfies the criteria of high internal damping, high velocity and high flexural rigidity. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure.

Questions for the seller |
|---|
| 1. Are you including the cables and if so, what brand are they.
2. Can I audition them in your home since returns are not accepted.
3. We are in Palm City about 3 hours away. Are they in new condition and worth the trip.
Thanks,
Rob Hi Rob,
Thanks for your interest in the Focal speakers. Cables are not included just like whenever you buy speakers they don't come with cables. Sure, you could try them out at my place. I recently "upgraded" to Legacy Focus SE speakers which cost twice as much as the Focals (Focals were $6.3K and the Legacys were twice as much). Running them with a Classe Delta PRE preamp and Balanced Audio Technology VK-255SE amp. The Focals don't have a scratch on them. They were also not abused either, as I run a 2.1 setup with a 15" HSU Research sub to handle the low bass, taking that off of the main speakers. The difference between the Legacys and Focals are not that profound despite the double the cost of the Legacys. It's just that I used to live in Illinois and visited Legacy's shop in Springfield back in the mid-1990's and always wanted a set ever since then. I love Focal speakers as well, and have them in my car. They are certainly worth the trip to get great speakers in flawless condition at half price!
