    Weren't they decent at least? Except legendary IF utopia episode, I've not witnessed any epic failures.

    I've heard some stories from retailers about there being some Focals that turned out to not be very reliable, even in later runs.

    Have you had any issues with your Utopias? Mine have been just fine for almost five years. Think people just play music too loud. :)

    I have had zero issues. From my understanding, if your Focal lasts ~3 months with no issues then it should be bulletproof. Just feels bad when I read about the problem units that even some SBAF members bought.

    My Elex have been bulletproof (except for dead cables, but replacement is easy and cheap) but given their pricing and the horror stories, not sure I would buy Focal agn. Shame, love the sound.
