Focal Theva Center Speaker

The tilt base allows you to angle the speaker upward toward your ears if it is placed on a low media console. This ensures that the dialogue is directed at your listening position rather than firing straight ahead at your shins.

While you can technically pair it with other brands, it is designed to be tonally matched with the rest of the Focal Theva line. Using speakers from the same series ensures a seamless, consistent soundstage across your front soundstage.

The rear vent design requires a bit of breathing room behind the unit to prevent bass buildup. While it is flexible, you should avoid pushing it flush against a wall to maintain the clarity of the low-end frequencies.

This speaker is quite versatile, with a recommended amplifier power range of 40 to 200 watts. Most modern home theater receivers will easily power it, but using an amplifier toward the higher end of that range will provide more headroom for dynamic movie scenes.

The magnetic fabric grille is included in the box. It attaches easily to the front baffle, providing a clean, minimalist look while protecting the drivers when the speaker is not in use.

Focal’s exclusive Slatefiber cones are designed for rigidity and damping, which helps produce a very balanced and dynamic sound. This material is particularly effective at keeping dialogue crisp and natural, even during complex action sequences.
