Review: JMLab Utopia Speaker

Category: Speakers

This review is for the Micro Utopia. A wonderful pair of speakers, I have them in a 14 X 20 room and they shine with 50 wpc of tube power. Their strenght is certainly the midrange and the high end, bass freaks will not be happy maybe, but I am certainly content with the bass responce in my room, they have a lush enveloping sound with a great soundstage, I have had many larger full range systems, but these are my favorite to date, and a keeper. The finish is world class and they look as good as they sound with the dedicated stands. I would say the major weakness is the cost, but I find most high end audio is very much overpriced, but I can't help but love it, the look, feel, and sound of these high end toys is a pleasure that is hard to live without. Overall I would say they are top end speakers for a small to medium size room, certainly world class monitors.

The Focal/JM Labs Micros are a terrific two way speaker. They can image with incredible transparency, you'll want to reach out and shake hands with the vocalist or the drummer. I have the non-Be series and am extremely happy, even though the new version has even more transparency. Many thanks to Keith and the gang at Premier Audio in Seattle.
