Focal Goes Active with $40k DIVA UTOPIA Wireless Speakers!

[lovinthehd]

The aesthetic escapes me (but most audio gear does anyways). Do they use special audiophile Naim amps in them?

Just listened to a demo of these on YouTube, they sounded exactly like my iPhone

Lol you must have the new $40K iPhone.

Laugh my a$$ off.

But seriously, is the point being that “serious audio enthusiasts don’t stream MP3 from their iPhones” ?

Something the pro-audio space has been doing for a long time.

I would love to compare to some Genelec 8351's with the matched subs and their GLM module. That would put you at about $30,000.

Instead of Genelec subwoofers there’s the “woofer” W371A each around $9000. That should make it more comparable to the Focals.

W371A SAM™ Woofer System - Genelec.com

An absolute revelation in low frequency performance. With the W371A, you can finally wave goodbye to the detrimental influences of your room on LF reproduction.

$18000 in subs (W371A)
$10K in Genelec 8361

Plus the GLM module and tax put you at around the $30K.

I was unclear: What I meant "with more comparable to the Focals" is that the W371A+8351 combo is a full range speaker when configured/calibrated with GLM, and not just price as such.
