Great condition JM Lab (Focal) Mini Utopia Stereo Pair. Bottom shows normal wear for speakers this age, some polishing/cleaning marks. One speaker does have two notable dings, see pics. Bottoms do have wear but they are hidden when in use.

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 7/8 out of 10, shows extremely well from a distance.

I have adequate boxes, solid foam casing.

    What are you replacing them with... inquiring minds want to know.

    I'm not replacing them, was curious to hear them.

    My main system is the mezzo utopia and my secondary is the Wilson cub.

    These are very similar to both of those, they are not better than either, just sound different. Phenomenal pair of speakers and don't let the 50hz bass rating fool you, they are very pleasing in 2 channel by themselves

    Polk special, will upgrade crossovers at dealer cost with free labor. I prefer to do it with cmr caps and duelund resistors.

    These things would rock

    Thank you sir! The utopia line is a treat for sure.

    Forgot to mention, these need approx a 30 inch stand

    I have a third one if someone wants a matching LCR 😂 but it has some damage, would hook up a Polkie for 600 plus shipping, which for the sonic performance is a steal

    Clarity CMR caps in the tweeter network, csa in the midbass (shunt position) with duelund resistors comes to a whopping 350 bucks for the pair!
