Why so many used focals?

I agree, even though I’m extremely disappointed with the simple refresh of the utopia line. I was really hoping they’d have an all new design and sound.

However... the Sopra 3 in blue. Or red. Or Orange. Or chameleon.... I can go on and on.

The Kantas actually look incredible in the matte front and wood side finishes, which you wouldn’t expect. Very forward thinking design.

Either way I genuinely think the Sopras are absolutely one of the very best looking speaker ever designed — and the Kantas are no slouch.


I also think Rockports, Paradigm Personas, and some other brands have some incredible looking speakers as well.

Yes they look great and are easy to get. 

I think they hit a sweet spot. I think it is an easy conclusion that a large group of people, including me, think they sound good to superb. Go listen to some. They are very affordable so that encourages one to upgrade.

I have electra 920.1 for 17 years . I would love to upgrade since all Audioholics look for that nirvana sound. But when I visit my local dealers it seems that i am already there. There are better sounding speakers out there but the cost is not worth it. Law of diminishing returns. And since my local focal dealer went out of business I cannot vouch for the new lines. Only imagine and again how $$
