Offered is „Diva Utopia“ by Focal as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2019699261 ends on 18.12.2026 at 10:25 o'clock.
The Diva Utopia is a notably ambitious active loudspeaker, combining Focal’s beryllium tweeter and substantial bass array with 400W of built-in Naim-designed amplification per speaker. At €36,900, though, this is an ambitious ask: it sits well above the €25,602 comparable median and €27,606 75th percentile, rather than merely reflecting a premium for a clean example.
It remains a compelling buy for someone specifically wanting a high-end, room-filling system without separate amplification, DAC, and streaming boxes. The built-in connectivity, DSP, wide bandwidth, and 116dB maximum output make it unusually complete and practical for a flagship design. At this price, insist on a complete matched pair, original grilles, remote/accessories, packaging if possible, and a proper demonstration of both speakers’ amplifiers, wireless link, inputs, and streaming functions; otherwise, meaningful negotiation is justified.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
