Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help


Hello all,

I'd like some suggestions on tweaking my Micro BE monitors. The problem I am having is that the imaging is vague. Voices that should come from the dead center come from the general center area but are not at all "point in space" imaging that I am used to.

My room is 11x12. Speakers are on stands 1.5' away from sides and 2' from front wall. I am using a Cary SLI-80 for amplification.

Aside from this imaging issue, I continue to be very impressed by the Focals. Great speakers that have very many positives.

Are you toeing them in towards you the listener or are they firing straight out. My 1007Be's improved immensely when I toed then in towards me. Basically making me the focal point or the intersecting point. I am using the same amplifier and the results are excellent with the 1007Be's.
Definitely sounds like a phase issue. You should get a strong center image, even with no toe-in, unless the speakers are like 15' apart.
