Great center channel!!

Great condition JM Lab (Focal) Mini Utopia. Bottom shows normal wear for a monitor loudspeaker. The bottom is in good enough shape to place speaker on side for an awesome center channel!

The bottom woofer was missing a phase plug and was inoperable. This was shipped to Focal France, they replaced the phase plug with the newest factory spec and repaired the woofer for proper operation. The new phase plug is aluminum versus resin filled plastic. This can be painted if you so desire!

Sound is excellent! The last Utopia speaker generation with a user serviceable tweeter!

Included in the photos are the most obvious blemishes on the speakers, I would say it is a solid 7 out of 10, from a distance you would not notice any of the blemishes.

I do not have the original box but I have shipped speakers for close to 2 decades with no issues. You will not be disappointed.

    Imo, if the crossover was designed in that orientation, doesn't matter. If you were to change the orientation with the same values you would actually change the specs, if that makes sense

    Agree Trey although way above my skill set. (as Ron so eloquently points put ;) )
    If all that was planned into the circuit then yes it plays a critical role.
    JM Labs is no Cerwin Vega, JM Labs/Focal certainly know how to build top tier gear no question about that.

    I'm pulling this particular one as I have two more coming but I will relist something similar for only 650 plus shipping (approx $75)

    Not sure you can find a better center channel than that
