We were one of the few consumer A/V publications to make the trip down to Houston during the pandemic to experience the first Focal Powered by Naim location on this side of the pond and it proved to be a very worthwhile trip.
Not only did we get to spend some quality time experiencing the concept and learning firsthand about how it was going to work on a global scale, but we also managed to enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food in America and explore the local record scene.
On the most recent episode of the eCoustics podcast, we discussed the progress of the retail strategy and how it has impacted both brands and influenced the next generation of electronics and loudspeakers that are forthcoming.
Focal Powered by Naim continues its expansion in North America with exceptional personalized experiences in modern spaces and listening rooms with these two world-leading audio brands.
