Focal Chora 816 Speaker

These speakers perform optimally in rooms up to 323 square feet. Their 2.5-way design provides enough output to fill medium-sized spaces without overwhelming them.

The Chora 816 is relatively efficient, with a recommended amplifier power range of 40 to 200 watts. Most standard home theater receivers or integrated amplifiers within this range will drive them comfortably.

The tilt is designed for Time Alignment. By angling the speaker slightly upward, the sound from the tweeter and the midrange drivers reaches your ears at the exact same time, creating a more precise and focused soundstage.

They are excellent for both. While they offer the musicality Focal is known for, the 2.5-way bass-reflex design and front-firing port make them particularly effective for home cinema, where dynamic range and clear dialogue are essential.

Slatefiber is a proprietary Focal material that is lightweight, rigid, and well-damped. This results in a dynamic, rich midrange and tight, controlled bass that avoids the coloration often found in standard cone materials.

Because they feature a front-firing port, they are more forgiving than rear-ported speakers. You can place them closer to a wall without the bass becoming muddy or boomy, making them easier to integrate into standard living spaces.
