Focal 8 WM Utopia 8.5" Woofer Component Speaker (Each)

Outstanding versatility

Woofer

The key word for this 8 woofer is versatility. Thanks to our new M'-profile 'W' sandwich cone combined with our TMD surround, it is capable of covering an extremely broad frequency range, of playing as well low to bring you excellent dynamics as it is to climbing up to the high-mids to make a perfect transition with our 3.5WM midrange or our TBM tweeter.
An la carte concept

Do you dream about building your own, bespoke, audio system, by choosing each speaker driver based on your vehicle and your requirements With our new Utopia M line, this dream has now come true, with only one limit: your creativity.Made in France and unique design

Utopia M range is entirely designed, developed and manufactured in France, in our workshops in Saint-Etienne. A unique and internationally recognized expertise for nearly forty years. In addition to the new M -profile W sandwich cone, our designers went to the extreme in developing a disruptive design. The design of the Utopia M chassis is a subtle mix of tradition, performance and elegance la fran aise .The best of Focal technologies

'M'-profile 'W' sandwich cone

The new, patented, M'-profile cone is the result of many years of research and our expertise in materials and their geometry. The innovative M -profile, made from a single piece, means it is incredibly rigid and perfectly combines the three criteria essential for creating an ideal speaker driver: rigidity, lightness and damping. The result is an extremely linear frequency response, a low distortion rate and better sound dispersion.

Upon listening, this cone delivers striking realism and level of detail, that transports you into the heart of music.



TMD surround
Originally developed for the Sopra line of high-fidelity loudspeakers, our TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround has a unique profile, designed to better control the effects of resonance and to drastically reduce the distortion associated with deformations of the cone. The speaker driver takes advantage of this patented technology by spreading better defined and very realistic midranges frequencies.



Progressive spider
The progressive spider used on all our Utopia drivers is built around a progressive section that reproduces all the impact of the bass whilst optimising the linearity, precision and dynamics of the sound.

sounds great - color isn't excactly what I saw online

Easy to use; quiet operation; music quality very good for the price.

the cable is what it states it is big and heavy and flows a lot of power needed

Great streaning amp. I love that it looks like my old Yamaha CA-810 amp. However, all of the new tech and connections make the R-N2000A a more than worthy successor.

Great entry level audiophile turntable!

The Eversolo A-8 is a beautiful and very functional DAC Streamers. Aaron service was on point. All thumbs up for Safe and Sound

These are amazing speakers. I did a lot of reading reviews about these before I purchased them. And just like almost all the reviewers said, they sound incredible! The sound does bounce off the walls and immerses you with sound. Even played at low volume, The sound is just pure and realistic. I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves all kinds of music !

The speakers arrived in great condition and the sound really fills my space well. Thank you!

I was genuinely surprised by how much of an impact the Esprit Aura had coming from the Esprit Celesta. The soundstage is dramatically larger and fine details are significantly improved versus the Celesta. The bass was also significantly improved too, bringing deeper extensions on the bottom end just like the better details on the high end. The difference is so significant that’s it’s hard to give a single example because it affected everything so dramatically. As an example though, symbols taper off slower, as it preserves the softer part of the roll off that wasn’t being preserved via the Esprit Celesta cable.
My system consists of a Hifi Rose RS152 going to the RA280 integrated. Speakers are the Audel Magika Plus. Going from the streamer to the amp was a Celesta XLR interconnect.

Excellent upgrade from the 2M Red.

By far the best listening experience of any speakers I’ve owned.

I like the unit, but I have a metal roof of my house. What kind of antenna do I need? I’m having a hard time getting channels.

Great they showed up in beautiful condition, they sound great i really have been enjoying them!

Great product and flawless transaction: no muss, no fuss; arrived on time, all in good condition. What's not to like!

Great turntable, easy transaction.

Massive power, no need for a separate amp for 90 db or higher fronts. This has great streaming capability and high grade DAC.
