One can almost picture the meeting between Focal’s design team and Naim’s engineers. “Let’s take our Focal ‘W’ membrane speakers and design an integrated system. Let’s take the same drivers from a $40,000 pair of speakers but put them into a simpler cabinet. Then let’s add separate Naim amps for the ‘W’ woofer quad pack in each speaker, plus one for the ‘W’ 6.5-inch bass-midrange for each speaker AND another for the “M” profile Beryllium Tweeter. While we are at it, we are going to add a Naim streamer and a Naim DAC, and control it all from an app. We aren’t done yet. Let’s not charge $60,000 for putting all of this into one cabinet. No, let’s keep the price at $40,000 USD and make it accessible for more to get our sound in one easy-peasy package!”
