Focal Vestia N°3
3-way floor-standing speaker
Vestia N°3 is a slender, high-performance bass-reflex hi-fi speaker. It is linear and extremely neutral. Its impressive dynamics, driven by three bass drivers with Slatefiber membranes, enable it to deliver the very best in both home cinema and music listening. Ideal for rooms of 25 m² or more, it will appeal to every listener in search of emotion.
BALANCE AND PRECISION
Thanks to bass-reflex technology (one vent at the front and one at the rear for an all-encompassing bass) and Slatefiber (recycled carbon fiber) diaphragms, the soundstage is precise and deep. Ultra-rigid cabinetry ensures perfect control of resonances and a neutral, uncolored sound.
COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE
The sloping feet of the loudspeakers create a soundstage centered on the listener (Time Alignment), for even greater immersion and emotion. For an all-encompassing bass, the loudspeakers can be perfectly combined with the SUB 600P SUBWOOFER
TIMELESS DESIGN
Thanks to a choice of harmonious, refined finishes - black or white leather-effect front panel, Black High Gloss, Dark Wood or Light Wood side panels - this floorstanding loudspeaker blends elegantly into any interior.

Bass
95/100
Reviewer repeatedly cites deep, tight, tuneful bass down to a rock-solid 30 Hz in-room, with weight and control that didn’t overshadow mids. Phrases: "depth and power of the kick drum," "equal abundance of weight and clarity," and "standard-setting bass performance for a speaker of this size." Matches dual 6.5" woofer mid-tower expectations; awarded at the top of the 'excellent' band.
Mid
94/100
Midrange praised for clarity and timbral accuracy: vocals described as "spotlessly clean," "robust but clear," and comparable to much more expensive speakers. Review notes seamless driver transitions so mids remain coherent and prominent despite strong bass.
Treble
92/100
Highs characterized as "lively" without being bright; reviewer noted good extension and refinement. Treble delivers detail and air while remaining controlled and non-fatiguing.
