Best Speaker ever made? We review Focal Utopia Scala EVO. Audiophile Dream Speakers
Переглядів 8 тис.14 днів тому
These are my favorite speakers. To be clear when I say best ever made I am talking about the Flagship model however these are no slouch. I bought them for myself mostly and listen to them all day. Their ability to remain clear in highs mids and lows even at some high volumes make them the most energenic speaker I've heard. When paired with their NAIM equipment and amplifiers they come alive in ...

Today I reviewed our new SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle Towers I got for a demo. These things are HUGE but in a good day. They look as fun as they are. These speakers for the money paired with their monster subs are a force to be reckoned with. Commercial Audio sound, no weakness and tons of science and tech behind these big floor standing speakers.

What screen would you recommend to someone with no ambient or in room lighting and dark colored walls and ceilings for the first 6ft of distance from the screen? In other words a home theater and not a multipurpose room designed to watch occasional movies in. Would you still recommend a ALR screen?
Excellent choice in colours, And nice system 👏🏼👍🏼🏴🇬🇧
Thank you! 👍
@ You’re welcome 🏴🇬🇧
Any thoughts on the new SVS 17 Ultra subs? Do the two voice coils, or other new tech help with musicality?
Haven't heard them yet...IMO a driver that large of any quality will have a tough time sounding musical. But im sure it's awesome...I'll get my hands on one eventually.
DVD quality 😂
Yup...It's 4K bluray quality. Not sure what's funny about it.
fantastic video, thx alot!
Glad it may have helped
DO you think this is an upgrade over the hisense ux110 thinking about switching to the 800 with a 130 inch screen. Light is controlled in room
100% an upgrade...it's an upgrade to almost anything. That's a tv....but its not a great tv and still small. Just have to do a good screen. Check my alr video and hit me up. we sell and ship and can help in any way.
Fabulous
Thanks so much Sir
great job 👍 is this a high contrast screen, though its a light controlled room? Maybe due to the relative "weak" projector? Otherwise a white screen would be better, or am i wrong? And is it 16:9 format?
light controlled and ALR yes....watch my ALR video for more info on that. Always 16x9....videos on that too : )
You guys did an amazing job on this room. A quick question, was the GIK diffusor panels white with the white fabric or white with the gray fabric? It's kind of hard to tell watching on UA-cam.
I really appreciate it. white with darker fabric. He owned them so Im not 100% sure.
worth it? it's a big no for me, why? because it's a never ending expense. i have between 1,500 to 2000 dvds n blu rays, if it allowed downloading my blu rays onto the server then fine, i'd pick one up today. the problem is i have to buy movies i already have all over again, and at prices we paid when dvd first landed... 20-40 bucks a pop. kaleidescape is like buyin a car, you never finish spending money on it!
Everyone is allowed to have their opinion.
Good day. I've been researching full home automation and found business called "Control4." I'm hoping to build my home someday but not seeing many businesses are good in this realm. I was wondering what you have come up with with adding automation into your home?
Until you know what 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world actually mean. Please don't sound silly and use it again. It is a Cold War term. Allied countries are 1st world, Communist countries are 2nd world, 3rd world is all others
It's a saying..I think you'll be ok. The entire world would benefit from people being less sensitive.
SVS PB16 Ultra = Dodge Challenger SRT Demon REL = Porsche 911 Turbo JL Audio Fathom = Mercedes AMG S63E Performance Bonus: Wilson Audio Subsonic = Bugatti Chiron
Thanks
Have a question. How do I reach you
go to our website. : )
Thanks David. Thoughts on a hybrid front stage? I have a pair of Klipsch KG 3.5 floor standing speakers and I am thinking of going with a high end in-wall for the center speaker to elevate the sound from the bottom of the screen. Maybe JBL Synthesis or similar.
Sounds good. Don't go JBL though..go all JBL if you're doing that. Stick with at least front 3 being same brand.
Hi, what would you advice for HT - 1 single unit of F112 or 2 units of E112? The room size is 12 ft wide 16 ft length and 10 ft height. I am running on 7.1.4 at the moment with a single unit of Revel Performa B15a. I am thinking of replacing Revel with JL Audi subs. Thanks.
STart with the Fathom....it's magic and add another later. We can sell and ship.... reach out.
Sorry aber KI ist ein NoGo 👎 dann lieber mit Untertitel. Mfg.Ake Glück auf
Whatever that means....But thanks
Great system.. You ned to hoover a bit though.. it seems that you got quite a lot of dust...
Was right after construction. not sure I saw a lot of dust but im sure there is
Awesome Review and presentation so thanks!!! What would be good amps to pair with or said differently, what would be good WPC to drive the 3's and 5's? You mentioned Mc but what else comes to mind?
So many....Mac always... HEGEL...Musical Fidelity.....Parasound HALO...and more
how big is that screen?
133"
There was a company that outperformed all these 3 brands with their DD+ series. You all know which company was.
I owned the DD+....fantastic sub...my JL Fathom is better for sure...but it's ujp there. Great sub
My biggest issue with KScape is this, the storage costs are absolutely highway robbery. An 8TB server is $5,000. I can buy a WD Red 8TB drive for under $200. I currently have a Synology NAS with nearly 500 Movies mkv rips, most in Dolby Vision, when available TueHD 7.1 ATMOS plus countless complete TV series and concerts, and the total cost for my hardware is about $900, and I have 28TB of storage, so I dont have to worry about redownloading anything or picking and choosing what to keep and what to delete. Is Plex as pretty, absolutely not, but the money savings is, is ripping discs time consuming, sure, but I have money to do other things, AND have a kick ass library of movies. When, not if, Apple releases their next player, and does bit for bit video and lossless audio, lets face it the movies are about the same price and they do Dolby Vision now, KScape will be in trouble and would not be shocked if Apple buys them outright, they have the means to do it.
Most can't build their own...and this is for those that don't care for sure. the user interface and back end stuff is cool.
Getting my Scala on Jan 25 running on Naim 500 series. Are you playing them old 500-series or new 300-series? Getting a Stella for yourself? Also do you think the REL Carbon is needed for Scala?
I run them on a 350 watt Mac...LOVE naim though. For music you don't "need" a sub. But they aren't going to go as low as a big sub....
Just one? Not stereo setup?
? .... there are two of course. You can't even buy one. Just don't need to show them both for a video.... of course there are two.
I’ve had the Electra Be which made Focal a serious contender. I could only imagine what sounds like
GREAT speakers
Second gen KRK Rokit 5's are the finest spaekers ever made, if you don't believe me just ask Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver.

No clue about real stereo audio and speakers. Its not an opinion, you havent heard anything else if you call them the best speakers. I hate salesman who sells his crap and thats why its the best in the world... Oh and btw naim is one of the worst p/l electronics money can buy.
Yup....you exposed me. 25 years in the industy....havent heard anything else....lmao. You guys are too much. Your opinion...is valid. But it's an opinion. Naim isnt good? hahahahahha
fair enough...I equally hate keyboard warriors. : ). merry xmas pumpkin

I sell them in sandals too....so im good but thanks. I get to do what I want now...paid my dues in a suit.
Surpised, the climax of Kung Fu Panda (Shshush?) Isn't listed for bass. Shook my whole house.
Ill add it. thanks!
Give me an EPOS speaker any day over Focal
Not close
@TheaterAdvice_FCAV Yeah EPOS are way better
Great list mate. Some ideas: - Apocalypse Now (the entire early part of the movie when they're with Robert Duvall) - Jurassic Park (the feeding the raptors scene) - John Wicks 3 (the shotgun scene near the end) - Batman Begins (Lucius showing Bruce the Tumbler) - Wall-E (everything on the Axiom)
love it
well, seeing it in this video is the closest I'll ever get to it
most of us
I got the V2 Scala simply amazing. what are you upgrading to?
model or two up
Stupid advice. You cannot calibrate anything by eye and with non reference pictures. Also in real calibration the the adjustments are done for every gray scale steps (at least 2 point, or 10-20 IRE steps.) not just globally. Better to just get a calibration device + free software and learn the basics. Doesnt cost that much.
lol ok
@@TheaterAdvice_FCAV 🤓👍
If you don’t mind me asking, what is that pretty looking subwoofer in the corner please? (Not as pretty as the Focals obviously)
REL Carbon
Will one Fathom 113 be sufficient for both music and movie theater? I do have a theater room about 18 x30. Going nuts over which sub to choose. Have narrowed it down to perhaps either the SB17-Ultra or the Fathom V113. Sure, I want nothing but the best, and the 113 much higher price I still can handle. Clearly, you indicate that the 113 is THE reference sub. Have you checked the SB17? Where might it fall short compared to the Fathom, what or where would I hear the shortcomings, if one can call them that? Or will the SB17 be very good with utmost cleanest, just as accurate bass reproduction or close to it, if the Fathom is the yardstick? Thank you.
100% enough and the best choice
The best! ...until you hear Wilson Xvx's .... But then you hear chronosonics🤯
wilson is a cabinet company not a speaker company. They dont make drivers. sound good but have little respect for the brand.
Kanta 3 vs Sopra 3... Which do you pick?
sopras are far superior. Far. Kantas are awesomw though
Over B&O? Hhhmmmmmmmmm I have my doubts but you did nail it about speakers being subjective. Bravo sir🫡
way over.... but I like B O
I am a big fan of Focal. Though with my space getting something big really isn't practical. I bought the Focal Aria 926 K2 last year, and whilst I did consider the Aria 936 k2 and Spectral 40th, both were overkill for the size of my room. The big thing I did, which really helped with the sound, was to add a set of ISO Acoustic Gaia III feet, and that really tightened up the bass and helped with isolating instruments much better.
great speakers
$30k Magnepan 20.7 X 😊
great stuff
I'd rather have Magico's.
great speakers, all opinion and taste at this level
Great video. Couldn't agree more about your assessment of Focal. I almost purchased the Scalas but moved up to the Maestros for deeper bass. Truly amazing sound that you can't appreciate until you hear them. Maybe a bit bright early on but they relax quite a bit around 500 hours.
Right on!
😉 ua-cam.com/video/coivDbfVWfQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ER4u3P47vd0WL4nD
Man just loving hearing you talk about Focal. I own the Kanta 3 hooked to a Moon amp, dac and streamer. Total ecstasy for hours on end. Would love to upgrade to the mighty Scalas one day. PS: You listen to Ghost Rider, you absolute Champ! I own a huge amount of psychedelic trance and listen to it daily x
Yeah they are so great...I love those Kanta 3's too! I listen to everything :)
Beautiful Speakers but very pricey way out of my league....... But I bet they do sound amazing I can think of a lot of great songs I would love to hear on those thanks for the video
They really are amazing. but yes....very expensive. look at KEF reference for an amazing but less expensive speaker
On UA-cam people who have home theatre’s and review subwoofer’s seem to be obsessed with the output of the subwoofer below 20Hz how much movie content is actually 20Hz and below for that to actually matter ?
Very little. Clean bass is better
@ so would 4 sealed subs be better option over 2 massive ported subs
Am planning on either 4 ht105’s or two or 3 1510’s what would you suggest
I think they’re a work of art . If I won the lottery I’d be purchasing the Grande Utopia
same
Focal speakers are probably one of, if not the best in the world period..... Very beautiful and sexy looking!
agreed
You’re supposed to hear it, not see it lol
@phunkyjunkee yeah, both! Lol.. very expensive and addictive sound signature they have!
