New Focal Grande Utopia EM

I just auditioned the long-awaited Focal Grande Utopia EM at Digital Ear in Tustin. This is in Southern California and I believe they are the first in the country to have these beauties. These speakers perform like nothing else I have ever heard and have officially out-classed everything else in the top speaker category. This setup was being actually broken in on a Mcintosh C2300/MC1.2kW/Esteric P-03+D-03 setup. Again, I am wondering if anyone else out there have heard these and their thoughts.

I spoke to a group of enthusiasts that visited RMAF and they consistently loved the setup. i was starting to question my own ears before i spoke to these guys. They mentioned that the "Wilson-ites" frown on anything not produced from Wilson and i hope that is not the case with luke-warm feedback listed above.

Stricken, I wish!!! Oh, I wish so much I was the owner to play with all of these toys!! I am unfortunately a hobbyist and am regularly contracted by Broadcom and have shopped for systems there over the years. As far as the economy and products and the timing, I guess it is a world problem. Nobody in the world has control over anything right now. It seems like the world is running scared and I think it is funny. People are either over-optomistic and spend all of their money or they get absorbed by fear and hide every penny. Neither method is the right one.
