#160 Focal Utopia Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a very good Harman preference score of 77 with a 2.32 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x 40mm beryllium dynamic.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Sub-bass is 6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble sits about 5.7 dB low, so it sounds a little dark.
