“A true acoustic masterpiece”: Focal’s $40,000 Diva Utopia monitors are ridiculously luxurious active speakersFocal is welcoming listeners to sonic nirvana with its new line of hi-fi speakers: Focal Diva Utopia.
The Utopia line has long been Focal’s top-rated passive speaker. But Diva Utopias take the French audio manufacturer into the active and wireless realms. These are primed for any audiophile who wants supreme sound and doesn’t want to manage a receiver or any other complex wiring to power their listening session.

Diva Utopias features Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, supporting 192kHz/24bits audio where supported. You can connect wirelessly to major streaming services such as Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and Google Cast. Just pair your phone and let the music play.
For connecting to other entertainment applications, the Focal Divas include a comprehensive connectivity panel on the lower rear. HDMI, Cat6, USB-A, and analogue RCA ports are available to make these future-fi speakers work with any system listeners may have at home.
The convenience surely upped the price, but Diva Utopias are built with the same exceptional technology from Naim Audio that has made Focal a leader in audio tech.

“Naim Audio has designed the electronics especially to guarantee the faithful reproduction of every musical nuance,” reads a quote from the press release. The brand also touts the Diva Utopias as “a true acoustic masterpiece,” thanks to “sophisticated materials with an open design.”
The vertical, floor-standing construct includes Focal’s standard 27mm inverted dome beryllium tweeter, a 16.5cm sandwich midrange driver, and four 16.5cm woofers. Such dimensions can easily fill rooms as large as 80 sqm. Overall, Diva Utopias put out 800 watts of power, 400 watts per speaker divided among the three driver sections: 250W for bass, 75W for both the tweeter and midrange.
This all comes at a price, though. A pair of Focal Diva Utopia speakers will set you back £29,999/$39,999 — Focal’s own passive alternatives such as the Sopra and Kanta can be bought for half or even one-third the cost.
Still, for anyone who can afford Diva Utopias, they will surely elevate any home system to the next level of quality and simplicity.
