Focal On-Wall 301 Speakers Preview

See the complete review for the Focal On-Wall 301 Speakers.

Focal has recently come out with the On-Wall 300 Series speakers.

I am currently reviewing the 301s, which fit nicely with a wall-mounted TV up to 60 inches. The 302s are aimed at the 65 inch and bigger screen sizes. You can order optional speaker stands if you are not interested in mounting them onto your walls. These speakers incorporate two 4-inch Flax speaker drivers with a 1-inch aluminum/magnesium tweeter in a D’Apollito array. They come with magnetic grilles and look great with them on or off. You also get a choice of gloss white or piano black to help them blend into your decor. An installation template is provided and includes all the mounting hardware you need for a quick and clean install.

They work well with the other Focal speakers from the 300 Series, Aria, or Flax Dome to create an entire Home Cinema system. From my initial listening, these speakers can run rings around a typical soundbar and can be paired with a subwoofer, or not. They produce pretty good bass on their own. I’ll have a full review of the Focal On-Wall 301s and stands ready to go in the near future.

As a side note, Focal is currently running a 20% off promotion on the 300 series of on-wall speakers that lasts until June 30th. The On-Wall 301 is selling for $799.00 while the On-Wall 302 is $1199.00 each. On-Wall stands are $399.00 per pair.

Jim Milton

Jim Milton has been interested in high fidelity since his college years in the late 70's. It was there that he first became interested in classical music. He has been part of choral music, both in opera and oratorio and is an avid collector of classical music from the Baroque through the Romantic periods. He enjoys an occasional night at Boston Symphony Hall or attending an organ concert at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, ME. Currently he is the director of Nuclear Medicine at the North Shore Medical Center, located just outside of Boston. He also serves as an adjunct professor for Salem State University where he teaches a course in nuclear instrumentation. During his leisure time, he enjoys listening to his music collection and an occasional movie with his wife of 30+ years. Living on the longest stretch of sandy beach north of Boston offers him plenty of opportunities to take a relaxing stroll or soak up some sun.
