Used Focal Alto Utopia or New Focal 1038BE

I had a pair of the older generation Mini Utopias and they were excellent. Paid $2200 for them vs $10000 + for newer ones. I would almost always go with used from a higher line rather than new from lower one.

Stanwal, "I would almost always go with used from a higher line rather than new from lower one."

In my opinion, that is sage advice.

Thank you Gregm for your opinion.The new Utopia series is out of my price range for now.

Hi Paul,
Once again you are right about Focal Utopia.Today I audition both speakers and they are both good match for my Rega.Electra has more forward midrange and is faster, but Alto's are sweeter sounding to me.Good news is that the sound is crystal clear even at low volume.I have a large room ,so monitors are probably out of the question. ( I prefer not to use the subwoofer).Best regards,
Mark

Zszwedo,

The Isis is awesome. You can't do much better at any price.
