I was blown away by its brilliant sound quality and extremely elegant design.
I left feeling like I had gone to an ear spa.
It was a much-needed treat for my ears after being subjected to overwhelming Manhattan noise all day.

The Diva Utopia is a three-way bass reflex floor-standing speaker.
The bass reflex bit refers to that vent you usually see on the bottom of a floor-standing loudspeaker.
It helps dispel air outside, assisting with a better-sounding low-end.

The standout feature of the Diva Utopia is its UWB (Ultra Wideband) tech.
Ive heard speakers with UWB often cant tolerate someone standing between them, which results in distortion.
We all took turns playing our favorite songs on the Utopia via Bluetooth on Tidal.

Every instrument was reproduced with unbelievable accuracy and precision, resulting in a wide, spacious, crystal-clear soundstage.
Apart from Bluetooth, it supports AirPlay 2 and Google Cast.
A connectivity feature that stood out to me was the inclusion of a hi-res cable in the box.
The speaker looks as stunning as it sounds.
It sports an extremely minimal and subtle look with just a backlit Focal logo at its bottom.
The Diva Utopia is nowavailable for $40,000 a pair at select Focal stores.
