Focal's Utopia speakers take center stage
Share this article:
Harold Jones, winner of Virginia's IASCA Sound Quality Challenge, was kind enough to drop by Headquarters to show off his impressive ride. The centerpiece of Harold's system is his Focal Utopia Be No. 5 component speaker system. Until now, most of us here had only seen them in their cool shipping case — until Harold stopped by.
Of course, the Utopias are only part of Harold's impressive system. Here are some more key elements:
- JBL MS-8 digital sound processor
- Focal Access 8" 2-way speakers for handling mid-bass
- JL Audio 10W7-3 W7 Series 10" subwoofer
- JL Audio HD Series amps (2x 600/4 for the speakers, and a 750/1 for the sub)
Check out our short video to see what other gear contributes to his award-winning sound.
