DIABLO UTOPIA COLOUR EVO
Specification Sheet
Compact, distinguished and captivating, Diablo Utopia Colour Evo is the ultimate vision of the reference bookshelf
loudspeaker, in the purest Focal’s tradition. Largely inspired from the Grande Utopia EM, it sets new milestones in
the bass thanks to its patented 6
resonator. Fixed on a dedicated stand, Diablo Utopia Colour Evo enchants the midrange and the treble with its
definition, demonizes the bass with a density and a power handling never reached so far.
