Focal Diva Utopia active speakers less than impressive.

Had an opportunity to hear Focal’s new active Utopia Diva speakers at Axpona. Though they hit a few audiophile niches for 40k they were not that impressive. Not something that captures your interest after a while of listening. Trying to wrap everything in one package in my mind doesn’t work. More of a lifestyle speakers than a true high end product.

Because i improved them and put them to their true peak potential working level using acoustics principles... Speakers cannot be judged in a showroom...Period... They can be judged once embedded electrically,mechanically and acoustically in a system/room for specific ears ... Also price over some threshold which vary in mutiple ways means not much... Acoustics rules over all even over speakers...
