yeah i realy hope that one day you will have the chance to hear them not in a video but in real, i had the chance i have no words for it, it is just crazy. sorry for my bad english i am from Belgium. i use to have American made speaker realy great KLIPCSH but i change them for some FOCAL Aria 948. Do you see the amp in the back of this video it is a NIAM NAP S1 746W into 8 ohms, 1450W into 4 ohms, 9kW burst power into 1 ohm 101kg (each) 200000 $ just for the AMP the whole system must go for more than 500 000 $ with the speaker THIS IS NUTS
They sound great, recorded into a microphone, through whatever processing equipment, uploaded to TH-cam, and compressed using their software, to my Samsung phone with a tiny mono speaker then directly to my ears. I can really hear the quality and depth of these quarter ( in America ) million dollar Focal speakers. 😂😂😂. Unless you hear them in person why even comment on how they sound? They are for the 1% of the world which you and I are not. It's great to aspire to these but... stop flexing. Nobody here is buying these. 🤥
Hmmm, these sell for $140K each in the US. The only thing missing is a pair of McIntosh MC2KW mono blocks for an additional $90K. I had no idea that they were that big in size.
Not sure if you guys are reading this but as a member of a lot of hifi forums and an owner of Utopias, the neutral persons stance on these speakers consistently being rated as "poor" is driven by the coupling with Naim. Time and time again I find people disliking the sterile performance based on this pairing. Please consider hooking up to something else!
@@Shelldamage Hey Shell, obviously depends on the sound you like. Going older and very neutral, with serious drive, would be Pass X600 or X1000. This isn't really a speaker you should buy without demo!
@@TimothyJFLd Just was curious about the opinion of others about the best amp for the Grande Utopia; was reading very often that the naim statement is not the best choice... and I also want to know, why! Two Michi M8 could be a perfect choice. Had the opportunity to listen to the grande utopia in germany at the "Highend" a couple of years ago. The sound was adorable!
I cannot conceive of how you could ever justify spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, euros, pounds on a pair of speakers. No matter how good the tech and how wonderful the design, at the end of the day, sound is not magic, they're still outputting the same thing: pressure waves of air, comprising just two components: amplitude and frequency. That's it. Beyond a few thousand max you're just paying exponentially increasing prices for ever diminishing returns. It's just one big mind f-k.
incorrect. far from the most expensive. Steinway Lyngdorf Model LS $249,000. Genesis Prime Dragon $360,000. Wisdom Audio Infinite Wisdom Grande - £412,000. Tidal La Assoluta $550,000.

at 180,000€ a pair, it's not the most expensive, but one of the most expensive. Sure you can even find speakers in the millions after that, but still, we're way above your average high end loudspeaker.
@@hxosplus then your article / post is misleading. And click bait. Then you must state "most expensive speakers make by companies that make speakers for car audio to headphones"...
Dude they are more rare than any model of Ferrari, and they are very well known in the audio community. That makes the Utopia the highest dollar commercial speaker.
The Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure is 65000$/pair... 5M is for the Gold finish, you can dot the same with an Utopia. The Transmission Audio Ultimate can't fit in a standard house room... You'll need to buy a theater just for them...
I know this is off topic but If you do your research look into IASCA or USAC car audio world competition. You will notice the top 10 winners will not have kenwood for speakers. As a matter of fact you will see Focal at the top of the list followed by Kicker and JBL. So if your not deaf or blind from both ears at least listen to a set professionally installed with a descent equipment.
![Munich High End Show - 2019 - Focal - Focal Stella Utopia EM EVO [HIGH END AUDIO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5W_jh3TV44/mqdefault.jpg)
$230K Speakers, $80 Camera. Seriously these speakers are amazing.
"Wow those speakers sound amazing!!" he says as he watches this video through his phone.

@FUCK SHIT yes you are right it is NAIM my bad
On my 1 speaker Thinkpad....

3:39 sounds like he is saying "divorce supplies" -- price confirms.
nice choice of music for those speakers, wow blown away
they are sounding perfect
...in my 350 euros soundbar :D
...Through a microphone, TH-cam compression and finally your soundbar
How much do they weigh? I think they can make the floor collapse
€180K speakers presentation recorded with a potato - well done 👌
j'ai eu l’occasion d'écouté d'autre enceinte très haut de gamme et franchement elle sont meilleur que focal et en plus moitie du prix ?
Wtf the music choose choice
Great speakers .........
They definitely need a subwoofer to bring out the bass.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I know, they sound so hi pitched on my Samsung ,mono, tiny phone speaker. A sub is defenitely needed with these $280,000 rip offs. 😂
$200k speakers, and they play trap music through them. lol

And yes... Naim sucks
I want to dubstep test those speakers at a hifi showroom.
Lol 😂😂😂 perfect.
A question. What is the source of the sound reproduced? What type of device, media and format are used for quality reproduction? Thanks.
They are Naim streamers
@@hxosplus What format are the files on the server
streamer? Thanks.
@@MauroGuerreiro I think they played hi- res files
@@hxosplus DSD??
I don't remember, probably PCM
💚
WOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!
What is the retail price for the ability to focus a camera?
Lol nobody focus a camera. Those background stripes on the wall confused the auto focus.
παρε μια καμερα της προκοπης ρε...

Tout ça pour écouter du rap archi COMMERCIAL ! confiture aux cochons !
That background really messed with your camera.
6:05 wtf with the autofocus???
You see it was the new Sony camera...
it was enjoying the song
If it's 180,000 for the pair I'll take 2 pair but if the price is per speaker just give me a pair 🥴🥴
ахереть можно огонь
How is it possible to make this clip with that idiotical focus-shinanigan and then load it up...

We are taking for a company that produces from car audio speakers to headphones. All the above you mentioned are very small only high end companies.

Agree.
My old Elac bs53 + PianoCraft E600 receiver + PC asus xonar dx sounds better )
vinny stape
Мне такие бы на будильник.
tidal la assoluta-500.000 dollars
Please Don't do this to this speaker
Either this is terribly recorded or this is a seriously unimpressive speaker
what a load of bull
Terrible cheap filming with a $180,000 speakers!
It was very crowded
Sound like cheap PC speakers
Shut up
Cheap music hides the tiresome, unnatural sound of these speakers.
Дешёвая музыка скрывает утомительное, ненатуральное звучание этих спикеров.
nothing special
focal are crap..
I used to have a pair of JMlab micro utopia back in the days, it sounds amazing.
I know this is off topic but If you do your research look into IASCA or USAC car audio world competition. You will notice the top 10 winners will not have kenwood for speakers.

It should be illegal to play such garbage music on such beautiful speakers
