FOCUS SA-5 RECOMMENDED SPEAKER SWEDEN: Ljud & Bild hemma, no 2, 2004 ”Compact floorstanders with an especially airy and fine tweeter which makes them brilliant for music reproduction.” ”The supertweeter is used to give the treable a wider frequency range, and it reaches far beyond the human ears hearing. The bass reflex opening is extra long to give the bass a better range and it works very well.” ”You can’t count on very deep bass, but on Steely Dans ’Godwhacker’, the bass is heard clearly in the sound image and the small bass elements surprises with fat bass and with dynamic control. This is especially noticable on voices and strings.” ”The only negative side is that soprano voices can sound slightly thin, this is also heard in the highest octave of the piano, but the fine resolution of the treble catches in on this by delivering more room information than we ever heard before from a speaker in this price range.” Total: 9 out of 10
SUPER BUDGETWINNER NORWAY: Lyd og Bilde, no 1, 2003 ”Once again Audio Pro prooves they have a better grip on reasonable quality-speakers than most competitors. Focus SA-5 definitively deserves a place among this years best speakers.”
FOCUS SA-5 The elegant SA-5 cabinet pairs a highquality 6 1/2" woofer incorporating new Two-Coil Technology, and the Super Audio Tweeter, with a frequency range reaching above 50 kHz. A huge down-fired bass port and specially designed spikes, to ensure maximum connection to the floor. The speaker’s ’no-nonsense’ design is completed by bi-wiring and a double set of heavy duty binding posts, to ensure the audiophile’s complete delight. It is voice-matched with all speakers in the FOCUS range.
Sound: 9 out of 10 Price/Performance: 9+ out of 10
A SWEDE WITH AMBITIONS NORWAY: DVD og Hjemmekino, no 1, 2003 ”A thoroughbred with fantastic HiFi-ambitions, this speaker can with the right electronics give even the most jaded HiFi-enthusiast goosflesh. Resolution, room-connection, quick and controlled - all at once, but not until you are willing to put some extra on your amplifier solution.”
THE SWEDISH SOUND DENMARK: High Fidelity, no 8, 2002 “It sticks out from the crowd in the cheaper category since they can be used in hometheaters as well as real HiFi-systems.” “SA-5 is a euphonious speaker that will give you a lot of value for your money. The little lift at the top especially makes classical music airy, fluent and transparent. SA-5 has a nice slim sound with lots of detail.”
