Focal Utopia 3 Scala speakers

I am just curious to hear peoples' opinion on these speakers. I am not interested in purchasing them, but lately I have seen quite a few of them sold for less than half the retail price (all in as-new condition). Is there anything wrong with this particular Utopia 3 model or is just a coincidence? The Alto Be models that Scala has replaced was a wonderful speaker.

Focal Utopia Scala sounded phenomenal in the Bob Hodas/Tape Project room at the California Audio Show this last weekend. Quite a small room.

Preamp and power amps from Luke Manley (MB 450 Series III) with Tara Labs cables. The source was first class - Otari tape deck with custom Bottlehead electronics and The Tape Project material.

The Utopias were on custom Sound Anchor stands that raised them quite a bit.

I was entranced by the Rimsky-Korsakov and blown away by the Patricia Barber cut. One of the 2 best rooms, for me.
