Focal Diablo Utopia in HiFi+


Has anyone read the review by Chris Thomas on Focal's latest stand-mounted two-way that is an implementation of their proprietary second generation beryllium tweeter among other advancements? I heard this a few months ago and was truly amazed. Very coherent with loads of transparency and musicality. Not having ever owned Focal, it was not what I expected to hear and sounded quite unlike anything I have ever heard from Focal. The caveat is that it requires a long break-in to sound its best. Can anyone comment relative to Raidho's Ayra C1.0 (also reviewed by Thomas in HF+) and Tidal's Amea.

Phaelon, I am very suspect about the bass capabilities of a 4.5 inch cone. That being said, I know that driver is a technological tour -de-force. What amplifier did you hear on the Ayra's?
