In the linked thread (at the top of the page) I was pointed out that GM Lab introduced their new Focal Utopia EM loudspeaker. Yesterday the Seattle’s Moron “mikel” posted a picture at AA with the new Utopia EM presented at RMAF 2008.

When two years ago JMLab introduced a new flagman of their home loudsapeks – the Grande Utopia Beryllium the Worlds was shocked to its foundation. Our reporters rushed to interview Jacques Mahul, the JMLab’s CEO and designer, and let him to pre...

Yes, Utopia was demoed in a large room. However:
1) Amplification: and yes, Boulder amplifiers were used. Good observation, but I don't understand why you think they would be a bad choice. I thought they quite complemented the Gra...

In the issue there was big article about the new Grand Utopia EM. I read it and I was not pleased what I read as the review was in many ways mistaken. In facts the review was...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

I would like to share some ides what I would like to do in my monitor project. This are just intention and I did not try to put it all together. Probably I will do it with the next few weeks.
I’m planning to use the Celestion SL-600 enclosure ...

Robert, actually in case of Grand Utopia you was remarkably close mentining the ‘magic tape measure’ option. You see, they demoed Utopia in looks like a large room and they band the Utopia’s axis’s only for demonstration purposes. In this configurati...

I think Utopia is alittle soft with less sharpness than wilson , I have no idea but maybe one of the reasons is internal wiring of utopia.personally i prefer wilson but in this level of difference maybe choosing right cable and upstream help compensa...

…and I do not know how to describe the difference about it. A sweet spot of acoustic system is a location where Sound of speaker in a room are “focused” together. The sweet spot with Grand Utopia is a very specific distance at wish the problems with ...

As much as the concept of MiniMe I find is supremely useful as much it was unlucky in my implementation. I went over a number of monitors, then built my own versions of MiniMe, then in the new room I used Danlavy SCIII. Some of them were good but it ...

It is very uncommon, practically never happens but still very rarely it is possible to talk about sound or playback systems from a prospective of “absolute tone”. Yes, the audio people love to take about tone of their audio but in 99.999% those audio...

Well, I do not know what it would mean. Regardless his “constitutional status” Row’s article is much more informative and much more educational for people who have interest in the MAXXes then the brainless saliva dropping that many industry cheerlead...

I too want a monitor speaker to play with, especially for amplifier experimentation.I put another 4" Fostex in a sealed "box" (globe actually) and crossed it over at 150hz to one SS 25w/8565 on the side. Wishful thinking? -Yes.About 88-90dB sensitive...

Yes, it was kind of interesting. The Tentlabs site does not have anymore those popups (and my machines are environmentally clean). I was so surprised when I sow it that I even went to their web site from my “absolutely clean “server that never ever g...
