Focal Mini Utopia

My relocation to Bay Area from Iowa forces me to sell my speaker based system (just keeping headphone system).

Top of the line speakers from the early 2000's. Well cared for and working perfectly.  Complete with matching stands (an absolute necessity for proper operation) and wood speaker grills for safe transportation, spikes between the speaker and stands plus four original boxes.  

The Mini Utopia is a two-way bass-reflex design that uses two 6.5" Focal woofers in an MTM configuration around a 1" inverted dome Focal tweeter.

Highly efficient speaker design with 91dB sensitivity.  I have been pairing them with BAT VK-3iX SE and VK-55 with Electrocompanient ECM-1 CD player and Schiit Gungnir DAC. 

Great condition with a few very small scratches and very light swirl marks on the high gloss black finish.  Retail price was $7000 with $1200 addition for stands.  My asking price is $2500 plus shipping and PayPal fee if you want to use it.  They will be shipped from 52722.

Sound"Fast, vivid and incisive no matter the type of music you choose," but a "robust and fully fleshed-out-sounding speaker" too; "Soundstaging is extremely good and easily on par with the very best [Doug has] heard," as is the bass impact. FeaturesVery high-quality Focal drivers and point-to-point-wired crossover; stunning looks and build quality. Use"To get the best out of the Minis, you musthave your ears level to the tweeter"; matching stands are $1200 per pair, but are the perfect visual and sonic foundation for the speakers. ValueIn the genre of stand-mounted speakers, the Minis' high price will raise eyebrows, but the Minis are "nearly reference-class" speakers perfect for small to medium-sized rooms.
