Handcrafted French Floorstanding Speaker

The Focal Vestia No. 3 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker handcrafted in France for high-fidelity stereo or home-theatre systems. Each cabinet contains four 6.5 Slatefiber cone drivers and a single M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter. The High Gloss Black finish complements premium listening rooms. This unit is sold individually.

Slatefiber Cone Driver Upgrade

The Slatefiber cone replaces traditional pulp or pure polymer diaphragms by sandwiching recycled non-woven carbon fibres between two thermoplastic polymer layers. This construction increases rigidity and sound velocity while improving damping and reducing mass. The jump is worthwhile for listeners who want lower coloration and tighter bass control from a cone material developed exclusively by Focal.

M-Shaped TAM Tweeter Directivity Limits

The M-shaped inverted dome tweeter uses a profiled horn to equalise horizontal and vertical directivity, widening the usable listening area compared with a standard inverted dome. However, the tweeter remains a single point source, so extreme off-axis angles or very large rooms may still exhibit high-frequency roll-off. Room acoustics and speaker placement ultimately define the practical sweet spot.

Questions about this item

What floor space does each 6.5-inch driver cabinet require for stable placement?

The floorstanding cabinet is designed to stand directly on the floor; allow enough clearance around the four 6.5-inch drivers for unrestricted bass port airflow and stable footing.

Which terminals accept the speaker cables, and what connector type fits best?

Connect speaker cables to the rear binding posts; banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire all make secure contact with the gold-plated terminals.

How should the Slatefiber cones and TAM tweeter be cleaned without damage?

Dust the Slatefiber cones and M-shaped TAM tweeter gently with a soft, dry brush; never use liquids, solvents, or compressed air on the driver surfaces.
