Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades


Hi Everyone,

Based on interesting discussions I've had, I'm considering offering upgrade kits for the Mezzo's.

I would like feedback from anyone who has them or likes these speakers. Please note the campaign is for RESEARCH. Not the upgrades themselves.

Please let me know your feedback.

If this happens I'll offer the upgrade kits via Audiogon, so Admins please bear with me, but I won't pout if this violates TOS and you need to delete it.

Best,

No worries. :)

It’s a personal interest project which I am hoping others could be curious about too.

I see others upgrading parts here and there, and I think "Man, what these speakers really need is a modern tweeter" to bring them up to 21st century.

Upgraded, I think these speakers would beat all the Focal line today, but financially there is no way to recoup the cost. Only a true connoisseur would spend it, and most have already moved on.

I should also say, this generation of Focal Utopia's has the best opportunity for upgrades compared to the rest of the line.

I can put world class tweeters in them. After this, it's nothing but micro-motors.

Thanks BRF!!

I know, the mezzo and Grand utopia's had fabulous cabinetry, but are now 3 generations old.

Yes, I am confident they would exceed the performance of 10k speakers after mods. :)  but it's not worth doing 1 pair.

I hope all those who respond are as willing to share their thoughts as you were.

Best,
