After my time with the lovely Focal AriaEVO X N°3, I was curious to hear how much of that Focal sound that I fell in love with is retained in speakers lower down the food chain, so to speak.

Focal Theva N 3D Atmos Floor-standers & Theva Center Speaker

Introduction

The Theva N°3 D retails for $1499.00 USD each.

The Theva Center retails for $649.00 USD a piece.

The Theva N°3 D is a 3-way loudspeaker with a Dolby ATMOS height module built right into the top. With that Atmos speaker, it is perfect for not just music, but also movies which is why I requested the matching center channel.

The N°3 is one of 3 floor-standing speakers in the Theva line-up and is available in 3 colors: dark wood, light wood, or high-gloss black.

My samples arrived in the dark wood which features a dark grey baffle.

Included with the floor-standers is a plastic stand or plinth that you attached with screws, it’s not awesome. It’s a cheap-looking and feeling stand and when you’re installing it, it’s kind of a bummer. But once it’s attached you can choose not to pay it any attention and it allows the speakers to angle back and maybe let the ATMOS speaker hit the ceiling at a better angle or time delay the drivers.
