Focus Audio speakers have not received much coverage in the American audio press until recently. I recall an earlier review (1988?) of one of their larger speakers in Stereophile. My attention was drawn to the new Signature Line by a fellow audiophile in Asia – where incidently the bulk of the Focus Audio speakers end up. Dealers were difficult to find in the U.S. I was fortunate to find one who was willing to let me audition the speakers at home for the cost of shipping both ways (Thank You!!

The first thing that strikes you upon unpacking the speakers is the stunning quality of the finish. My pair of 788s came in what Focus Audio calls “Burr Oak”. The veneer is mirror matched on both speakers and the plinths. The veneer is then finished with what appears to be multiple coats of lacquer. The overall appearance is stunning. Mr. Kam Leung the builder and owner of Focus Audio speakers says he was inspired by the cabinetry he saw in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. Well Mr. Leung you have managed to build speakers that would not look out of place amidst that Bourbon splendor. The Proacs are known for their beautiful wood veneers finished but the 788s make them look very pedestrian. The two speakers are basically the same dimensions. The main difference, in addition to the finish, are the beveled edges of the 788s and the weight – the 788s being slightly heavier then the Proacs.

With regard to the working parts, the two speakers are very different. The 788s use top of the line Scanspeak Revelator D2905/99000 tweeters, Eton Nomex/Kevlar 7-372/32 woofers, Cardas wiring, Cardas binding posts, and Multicaps in the crossover. All very nice but I have experienced speakers built exclusively with premium parts before that have turned out to be disappointments. The modest parts of the Proacs – Scanspeak D2010 tweeter and Scanspeak 18w/8545 mid-woofer and standard wiring and crossover material have proven to be a successful formula.
关于R2.5和788的工作组件,788用顶级的Scanspeak Revelator D2905/99000 高音单元, Eton Nomex/Kevlar 7-372/32 低音单元Cardas 线材, Cardas 接线柱,分音器用上了 Multicap。都非常好,但对于用上最好零件的音箱我也有过失望的经验。Proac的用料则一般Scanspeak D2010高音单元,Scanspeak 18w/8545 低音单元,标准接线和分音器零件,但证明他们的方程式是成功的。
