COMPLETE SYSTEM
For a complete Home Cinema installation and intense movie enjoyment, the loudspeaker combines perfectly with the other products in the line: Theva N°1, Theva N°2, Theva N°3, Theva Center, Theva Surround and the SUB 600P subwoofer.

Bass
92/100
Two 6.5" Slatefiber woofers in a bass-reflex 3-way column with a -6 dB low frequency point of 39 Hz suggests strong, well-extended low end for a mid-sized tower. The dual-6.5" driver complement aligns with the mid-tower band ceiling, so score reflects solid extension and control without being subwoofer territory.
Mid
93/100
Dedicated 6.5" Slatefiber midrange and Focal's TNF 1" Al/Mg inverted dome imply accurate, forward, and detailed midrange/timbre. Design points to coherent crossover integration and natural vocal presentation typical of Focal's Slatefiber implementations.
Treble
93/100
The 1" Al/Mg TNF inverted dome tweeter is a proven Focal element known for refined extension and controlled detail. Expect air and clarity without harshness given the metal dome and 3-way architecture.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Three-way column format with a dedicated mid driver and quality tweeter supports precise imaging, width and depth beyond what 2-way designs typically offer. Cabinet dimensions and driver layout indicate good layer separation and stable images in-room.
Dynamics
91/100
91 dB sensitivity with recommended amp power up to 250 W suggests strong micro- and macro-dynamic capability and headroom. The multi-driver 3-way topology and robust recommended amplification support punch and transient control.
