The one tweak most Focals need ...

From a lot of work done analyzing Focals, if you have one, especially an older one, and want to improve the sound and maybe learn something, try upgrading the tweeter caps.

Usually this is 1 or 2 film caps in series with the tweet. I can recommend Mundorf MKP as well as Clarity CSA as being good improvements.

Of course, you probably wouldn't want to mess with your Utopias, but for the mid to low end, highly recommended.

If you going to do Xover caps  a clarity CSA would be minimum 
I have found best bang for a higher end cap the German Audyn 
true Copper Max caps . Parts connecxion just started selling them     I have used them in higher end builds, and recently put them in 
my new Lampizater dac , they are very natural with excellent resolution , very close to the Jupiter copper foil ,at half the cost .
i compared them extensively.

Regarding the vast majority of speakers even at over $10 k many use 
capacitors which I consider substandard like Solen which are rated a 6 
vs 15 for the worlds best Duelund cast caps for example. I upgrade my speakers always . If speaker company will give you the Upgrade  options go for it .you can easily gains  15-20% better sounding Loudspeaker.
