    Default Focal Electra 1028be floorstanding speakers

    I have for sale my beloved and trusty speakers Focal Electra 1028be. In excellent condition apart form 1 very very tiny hairline mark on one speaker which is hard to capture in camera. Im the first owner and had them for about 4 yrs. which only used occasionally. I have the original box but Im not willing to ship them so collection only from Swansea. Im looking for £2600 ono. Thanks.

    Agreed, Focals do so many things right, GLWTS. Someone will be happy I suspect!

    These work really well with MF and Belles amps for anyone who is interested.

    I agree. As I’ve moved from Naim to Musical Fidelity. With the speakers 91.5db sensitivity and 8ohm impedance they’re very easy to drive even with average tube amps.

    Yes I remember when you used Naim. My experience is that the Electra's don't work very well with either Naim or Exposure.
