Focal Micro Utopia + REL or 1028be II ?


Hey,

I have to chose from those:

Focal Micro Utopia Be (incl original SMU stands) + REL R-528
or
Focal Electra 1028be II (can link the REL as well)

The Micro Utopia used to be (or still is) one of the best stand-mount speakers, with the first generation of the Beryllium tweeter, but the 1028 has the second generation of the Be tweeter + of the floor-standing speakers advantages.

What would you choose ?

Congratulations Kipikipod! I’m sure you’re going to enjoy the hell out of them.
I agree with Stanwal. I’m the original owner of Mini Utopias so I’ve had them for quite a while. The whole original Utopia line is nicely balanced and a terrific value at the prices I commonly see them being offered. They’re also the best line for pairing with tubes, IMO. If foremost, you’re a music lover, I doubt you would be sorry. Also, they'll reward the use of quality upstream components.
