Excellent review. Probably the best, if not the best I have watched. Despite these Scalia are the old version the review is still valid. Thank you so much very informative.
Good review, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and opinions on your ownership of these over the last 2 years, thank you!
Amazing review. One of the best I watch, if not the best. Thank you do much. Despite that this review are about the previous model is still very valid and informative.
Thanks for the detailed overview.
They sounding great❤❤
I am in “LUST”. Wonderful. I have the Focal Solo 6 be ( s) and can only “ just imagine”!! If I had your money (lol) this is the way I would go! If I may add, removing the glass top coffee table will improve the sound!
Good review. I found putting iso acoustic feet on my utopia mastreos helped the overall sound presentation.
thinking to get myself a pair to replace the sopra 1 for the naim 500 series
only problem is they are going to be close to the wall and the only upside is that i got my room treated on almost all areas.
Thanks for the review on these focal's. I have a set of use scala's coming that is first generation (2013). I'm wondering what the difference is between your speakers and the ones I'll be getting maybe crossover design I'm not sure what else or even what sound difference would be. interesting to know be hard to tell without both set of speakers in the same room though.
Ah sorry but I haven't heard the old version so couldn't comment.
Hey man. Thanks for the review.
Is there any chance you know what the pricing is for each of the utopia speaker models? I can’t really find anything online. I believe the grand utopia is over 200,000 I’m not sure about the rest.
Sorry, I'm not sure Rooster!
I didn’t realize how big these speakers where. I think you need a bigger TV?! Great review.
I have a large projector set up and don’t use it much !
Hello, this is scala utopia but why they call utopia iii ? is this scala v1, v2 or v3 ?
Are the Sopra 3's close in performance?
Hi what size is your room.
What size is your room?
Can you make a video about golden gate 2 dac ? Thank you for Good quality content
Can do. Thanks for the comment.
Done please see my channel
@@TimothyJFLd Thank You so much, you're doing great job !
Any room treatments?
I will be sorting some bass traps from Gik soon
the spec. sheet is very unclear. When it says Net Wt. 85Kg, are they talking about 1 speaker or the entire pair in weight?
That is each! Very hard to put the spikes on.
@@TimothyJFLd realistically, what's the break down in weight inside? what components sucks up so much wt.? compares to say an average pair of 3 way?
@@HappyHopping11 the drivers have heavy magnets but mainly it’ll be the wood construction. There are UA-cam factory tours of Focal that may help. The original Utopia used lead! I think the largest were around 200kg
@@TimothyJFLd I'll have a look. And thank you for that review. I like Beryllium more than B&W diamond tweeter. I actually have went to the local Focal dealer and listen to this pair. For female vocal, I cannot tell a difference this vs. my M-Audio M3-8. But for the music in the background, there is a noticeable difference.
@@TimothyJFLd was there an audible improvement after putting on the spikes?
Congratulations on two years of ownership! Did you get my card?
No sorry David.. what card?
