The Diva Utopia Speakers from Focal are here!
Today, Naim/Focal announce their new DIVA Utopia speakers.
They are an “active, connected, wireless hi-fi speaker system.” With 400 watts per channel of class A/B power designed by Naim, (250 for the woofers. 75 for mid and 75 for tweeter) major dynamic range is assured. You can stream every kind of file available, and there is an RCA/analog input as well – to connect your turntable!
While these speakers can be used wirelessly, you can also connect them directly to your Ethernet network, and connect each speaker to each other via a cable using NaimLink.
With four 6.5-inch side firing W-cone woofers per enclosure (2 on each side) with a front firing 6.5 inch mid-bass driver and pure beryllium tweeter, you can be assured to have the Focal sound you are accustomed to. With 8 colors of sustainable fabric on the sides, there should be a color to suit your taste and decor.
Weighing in at 141 pounds each, you can leave your Diva Utopias on the supplied casters, or use spiked feet. Their footprint is small at 16.5″ W x 22″ D and just shy of 48 inches tall, so it will be easy to incorporate them into your environment.
On board DSP room correction will make it even easier to fit these speakers wherever your room dictates, and of course it is all app-driven and can be set via your phone.
All this awesomeness isn’t cheap, with a pair of DIVA Utopias coming in at $39,999 a pair. However, taking into account what an amp, preamp, DAC, processing unit and three stereo amplifiers would cost (as well as all the cables for this stuff) for the right customer, this will be a great bargain.
Will it get legacy audiophiles to de-clutter and get rid of all those boxes and cables? That’s yet to be seen, but for those of you that want true high performance sound and 21st century convenience, the DIVA Utopias may be the only game going. Focal is being tight lipped about smaller models on the horizon, so we’ll have to wait and see there.
Focal says these are available now at qualified stores in their Focal Powered by Naim network.
