I didn't hear of them before as there aren't many high-end stereo shops in Sacramento. I talked to Trigem2k about his cars stereo and he said used Focal Utopias. I saw a set at a local shop of Utopias.....$750 a pair to replace the door speakers.

Hi,

Yea, they're not cheap, but as the saying goes... I have the Focal Utopia Be system in my Esprit mated to a Nakamichi Head Unit and 4X100 Nakamichi Amp. If it were any closer to Carnegie Hall sound, you'd have to buy a ticket...

FOCAL has been making loudspeakers for more than 25 years. It is a French product and consistently among the world's best. They have now branched into amplifiers as well which should also be amazing.

You're not likely to find them available widely as they are cost prohibitive to many buyers and too costly for retailers to inventory.

They make loudspeakers for your home system as well, though you'd need a 2nd mortgage to afford them, still well worth it. Check them out at: http://www.focal-america.com/

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

AHAHAHAHHA.........I KNOW JIM WAS LAUGHING WHEN HE READ "FOCAL IS NOT A NAME BRAND".

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT BOGGTOWN, I THINK YOUR STILL LIVING IN your HIGHSCHOOL DAYS WHEN IT WAS COOL TO RUN 10,000WATT SYSTEMS THAT SOUNDED LIKE @#$%.
