Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM?

Paul, love to read your report when you get around to it. Congratulations on your purchase.

Regards,

Thank you guys. I bought them to celebrate my 60th birthday. For the last few years I have been using the Halcro dm68’s which I have always really enjoyed. Everything is still running through the Alexandria’s which are for the time being adequate at best. I also replaced my aging dCS stack with the Scarlatti which I think is just a spectacular digital front end. The Utopia’s are all wrapped up with blankets, pillows, bed spreads, and everything else I could find to silence them while they breaking. It’s a strange site.

Paul,
Were you dissatisfied with the Alexandria in anyway that made you switch to the Grand Utopia EM's? I would have to presume the EM's are sonically better for you to switch. Could you share more?

May be you already know this trick - invert the phase and place the speakers face to face when breaking them - bass will cancel.
This is particularly welcome when using the Purist Audio System Enhancer breaking CD that has very loud bass frequencies.

Hi Paul the Focal Grande Utopia 3 are a very good gift for
your birthday, congatulation. I ordered the utopia 3 la scala and I will get them in 2 weeks. I know it will take
300 hours to get the best. JM Lab utopia is good with
Mc Intosh equipment. Let's see ......
