Focal Theva N°2 Floorstanding Speakers

Description

Focal Theva N°2 Floorstanding Speakers

The Focal Theva N°2 Floorstanding Speakers are the most compact floorstander in the Theva range. It delivers the scale and presence expected from a floorstanding speaker. With a frequency response of 53Hz to 28kHz, 90dB sensitivity, and recommended amplifier power from 40W to 200W, it is a strong choice for small to medium rooms where space matters.

The Focal Theva N°2 is a very smart speaker for customers who want floorstanding performance without a large cabinet.

The slim cabinet is a major advantage. It gives the speaker a lighter visual footprint than many floorstanders. Therefore, it works well in lounges, apartments, and media rooms where style and space both matter.

The sound is classic modern Focal. It is clear, fast, and open. Vocals sit nicely in the mix. Instruments are easy to follow. Plus, the Slatefiber drivers give the speaker a controlled and expressive midrange.

We also like the Theva N°2 for home theatre. It can work beautifully as front left and right speakers in a matching Focal Theva cinema system. Add the Theva centre, surrounds, and a good subwoofer, and you have a very cohesive system.

Placement still matters. The Theva N°2 uses a bass-reflex design, so it benefits from careful positioning. Also, it should be used with the supplied plinth, as this helps with stability and time alignment.

For NZ customers wanting elegant French floorstanding speakers with strong detail, good imaging, and a compact footprint, the Theva N°2 is an excellent option.

Slim 3-Way Floorstanding Design

The Theva N°2 is a 3-way floorstanding speaker with a slim cabinet profile. As a result, it offers floorstanding scale without dominating the room.

Aluminium/Magnesium TNF Tweeter

The 1-inch TNF inverted dome tweeter uses an Aluminium/Magnesium diaphragm. Therefore, it delivers clean treble, clear detail, and stable imaging.

Dedicated Slatefiber Midrange Driver

A dedicated 5-inch Slatefiber midrange driver helps vocals and instruments sound more natural. This also improves clarity through the most important part of the music range.

Dual 5-Inch Slatefiber Bass Drivers

Two 5-inch Slatefiber bass drivers provide controlled low-frequency output. So, the speaker delivers useful bass while keeping the cabinet narrow and elegant.

Bass-Reflex Cabinet

The bass-reflex design helps improve low-frequency extension and overall efficiency. Therefore, the Theva N°2 offers more scale than a bookshelf speaker while still staying compact.

Made in France

The Theva range is designed and made in France. This keeps the speaker closely tied to Focal’s engineering heritage and manufacturing standards.

Tilted Stand for Time Alignment

The supplied stand tilts the speaker slightly. This helps align the sound toward the listener and improves the listening experience from a seated position.

Stereo and Home Theatre Ready

The Theva range is designed for both hi-fi and home cinema use. Therefore, the N°2 works well as a stereo speaker or as the front channels in a full Theva theatre system.
