Product Description
Viva Utopia is a 3-way loudspeaker dedicated to the most sophisticated multichannel configurations. Vertical (Viva Utopia) or horizontal (Viva Center Utopia), either in Home Theatre or Stereo configuration, it’s always efficient. Advantages: extreme clarity of the mid-range, high efficiency and power handling and very low directivity on the horizontal axis for perfect control of phase and 3D image. Plus all the Utopia 3 technological skills…
Standing at a majestic 1.30 m when installed vertically, Viva Utopia takes center stage in your lounge. Horizontally, the black lacquered loudspeaker is installed on a meticulously designed aluminum stand. Recognized by the experts for its high efficiency and power handling, it is the benchmark multi-channel, 3-way floor standing speaker. It integrates all the cutting-edge technologies developed by Focal for its Utopia III Evo range of outstanding loudspeakers.
An audio product for music lovers and those who aspire to listening quality perfection.
