About the Electra 1008 Be
The Focal Electra 1008 Be is a meticulously engineered bookshelf speaker handmade in France, designed to deliver emotional responsiveness, exacting precision, and room-filling fullness despite its compact size. It features a 6.5-inch 'W' composite sandwich cone midrange driver and a 1.25-inch pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter utilizing Focal's Infinite Acoustic Load (IAL) technology, which extends the tweeter's frequency range down to very low frequencies for superb definition and linearity. The speaker offers a frequency response from 46 Hz to 40 kHz, a sensitivity of 89 dB, and an impedance of 8 ohms, with a recommended amplifier power between 25 and 150 watts. Its cabinet is constructed from thick MDF with a rear laminar port designed to minimize noise and distortion. Dimensions are approximately 385 mm height, 264 mm width, and 350 mm depth, weighing about 15 kg. The Electra 1008 Be delivers exceptional imaging, soundstage, and transient speed, making it suitable for rooms exceeding 400 square feet and providing a sound quality that rivals larger floorstanding speakers.
