Absolute Sound, February, 2016 issue, The 2015 rocky Mountain audio festival, by- Greg Weaver,,, The most significant exhibits, very much a technological spinoff of french manufacturer focal's flagship grande utopia em, the Stella utopia em ($97,000.00/pr.) reflects most of the grande's innovations in a more compact 3 way version, the Stella employs the same unique electro-magnet drive system as found on it's single 13" "w" woofer., it shares the same pair 6.5" midranges and single layer inverted beryllium-dome tweeter, as well as it's signature segmented cabinet design, driven by over $500,000.00 worth of soulution, accuphase, and air tight electronics and sources, using all TARA LABS cabling, resting on critical mass stands and footers in the Blanca peak room, this speaker literally spoke to me. it's ability to render fine detail and micro dynamics made it engagingly MUSICAL. with an unrestricted sense of air and space, offering uncanny dimensional accuracy, scintillating tonal color and texture, these gorgeous speaker's were breathtakingly fast and dynamic. End of mention, mmmm, I bet these speaker's had these attributes from the taralabs cable's, my cable's have these attributes as we'll, may not be to the degree of the cable's used on these speaker's for the festival.
