Tower Speaker Reviews

Focal-JMLab Chorus S Speaker System

Build Quality: 91
Fit and finish are exceptional for a budget speaker line
Beautiful, "I can't believe it's not wood" finishes

Value: 97
Fine sound with European design and construction at beer-budget prices
Uses a variation of the tweeter in the higher-end Utopia line

Features: 90
Most everything on my usual wish list is here, including dual binding posts and a direct subwoofer LFE input
The 726 S is biwireable

Performance: 92
Great all 'rounders with a terrifically transparent, open, and detailed sound
A less-bombastic, more-refined sound

Ergonomics: 87
These are big-box speakers with an old-school design
You'll need plenty of room to make them sing

Overall Rating: 92
If you're looking to build a home theater system with real man-sized speakers instead of the little pipsqueak boxes that are rapidly becoming the norm, the Chorus S can deliver expensive speaker performance at an astonishingly reasonable price.
