The Focal Scala Utopia is a high-performance loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional audio quality and musicality. This model serves as a midpoint within Focal's Utopia series, lying below the larger Grand Utopia and Maestro Utopia while being superior to the smaller Diablo Utopia. With dimensions of just over 49 inches tall and a footprint of 15.5 x 26.2 inches (WxD), the Scala Utopia weighs 187.4 pounds, making it a substantial presence in any listening room. The speakers are praised for their ability to reproduce a wide range of music with a refined touch, accurately conveying nuances found in both classical and contemporary pieces, according to several listening tests conducted with high-end amplification systems. The designers achieved a balance across frequencies, with an emphasis on a crystal-clear midrange, making them particularly adept at reproducing piano sounds authentically—whether it’s the full-bodied character of a Baldwin or the lively features of a Steinway grand. The soundstage produced by the Scala Utopia extends well beyond the speakers' physical boundaries, creating an immersive listening experience with accurate instrument placement and depth. While capable of reproducing low frequencies down to 24Hz, they perform best in the mid-bass range, making them suitable for a variety of musical genres, including jazz and orchestral works. To maximize their potential, these speakers are best paired with high-powered amplifiers, such as the Boulder power amplifier, for a truly dynamic and controlled sound. Overall, the Scala Utopia embodies a harmonious blend of design, build quality, and musical authenticity, appealing to both audiophiles and music lovers alike.
