The Focal Temptation is a 4-way floorstanding speaker that stands out for its exceptional sound quality and innovative design features. This speaker utilizes a unique 3-way bass reflex configuration which includes a specially designed lower bass driver that effectively manages the lowest frequencies, making an additional subwoofer unnecessary. This setup is particularly beneficial for those with limited space or budget. The Temptation features two 20 mm bass drivers, each with its own resonance chamber, allowing for precise bass response and excellent placement flexibility, even in proximity to walls. The finely resolving midrange driver incorporates a horn front to ensure wide dispersion of sound across the listening area. At the top, the speaker is equipped with Focal's famous Kevlar inverse dome tweeter, which offers broader high-frequency radiation compared to traditional dome tweeters, contributing to a more immersive sound experience. Its smooth frequency response ranges from 26 Hz to an impressive 22 kHz, paired with a sound pressure level of 93 dB. The speaker weighs 40 kg and has dimensions of 270 x 1025 x 382 mm, making it both substantial and stylish. Introduced at a price of approximately 3,200 DM, the Focal Temptation has been recognized for its reference-level performance, as attested by various audio publications.
