Following the opening of its Saskatoon location in late 2021, two more Focal Powered by Naim stores have opened in Canada for a total of three.
The VerVent Audio Group, which units the Focal and Naim brands, has confirmed the opening of new spaces in Barrie, about an hour north of Toronto, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. They open as reference audio stores-within-stores, whose managers are key partners of the group.
Focal Powered by Naim Barrie takes place in the EQ Audio Video store, led by Edward O’Herlihy, an expert in audio solutions with more than 30 years of experience in the business. Focal Powered by Naim Winnipeg, meanwhile, moves to Creative Audio in St. Boniface’s French Quarter, a store run by audio enthusiast Jeff Kowerchuk.
The Focal Powered by Naim stores aim to offer an authentic listening experience to customers who can try out the brand’s complete systems and high-end products, from speakers to headphones, CD players, streaming music, amplifiers, and more.
Close to the Barrie Molson Center, the Barrie shop-in-shop contains four demonstration rooms and a headphone bar with Focal’s headphones for a unique listening experience. Highlighting the space will be the exclusive Focal Naim 10th Anniversary Edition system. It includes Focal Sopra N°2, Naim NDX 2 – NAC 282 – HICAP DR and NAPSC – NAP 250 DR, which sells for $62,400. The system includes all the connections you need, including a pair of Naim’s top-range Super Lumina speaker cables.
