Focal Utopia III

With an abundance of used speakers for sale on Audiogon, I wonder if any long-time Focal owners are moving to the newest Utopia products as represented by the Scala (floorstanding 3-way)and Diablo (stand mounted 2-way)?

''The Mestro is out? Where can I go to see it? Anyone heard it?''

your local dealer should already have booklets.ans soon the speakers . as for sonic its definately will find customers even in modern style music or even studio motitors. thiny bass comparing with Alto Be is gone. it really kicks chest stomach on louder volumes.

I referencing previuos 2002 model Micro utopia Be Vs Diablo Utopia.

I thought the Micro Utopia Be was a great 2-way. It seems that with the newer generation beryllium tweeter, Focal n ow has something really unique. I have never heard a better upper octave response than with the Diablo.

yes theese are very diferent technicaly. Diablo is everything I can expect from 2way compact stand monitor. Strings and everything above 3-4Khz is best arround. The only flaws to my ears is limited dynamic(due eficienty) and some harshness in bigger chorus ,choral voices ,particulary female opera voices with less than perfect recordings. But its very minor and all this common to all two ways monitors in some even very pronounced not liek Diablo.

I see from Focal's website that the Diablo's crossover point is 2.2khz. Elviukai, any sense on how the Diablo's might compare to the Magico Mini II's?
