Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades

Hi Everyone,

Based on interesting discussions I've had, I'm considering offering upgrade kits for the Mezzo's.

I would like feedback from anyone who has them or likes these speakers. Please note the campaign is for RESEARCH. Not the upgrades themselves.

Please let me know your feedback.

If this happens I'll offer the upgrade kits via Audiogon, so Admins please bear with me, but I won't pout if this violates TOS and you need to delete it.

Best,

That's a tough call.  Used Mezzo are trading between 4K and $5K.  I am not sure how many would be willing to drop $3K on a tweeter update even if it did translate into better sonics.  The modded Mezzo would have to better "other" used speakers that are selling for the sub $10K range to justify the upgrade cost.  I enjoyed my time with the Mezzo and I liked the sound of them in stock form.  Good luck with your adventure, I wish you success.

Thanks BRF!!

I know, the mezzo and Grand utopia's had fabulous cabinetry, but are now 3 generations old.

Yes, I am confident they would exceed the performance of 10k speakers after mods. :)  but it's not worth doing 1 pair.

I should also say, this generation of Focal Utopia's has the best opportunity for upgrades compared to the rest of the line.

I can put world class tweeters in them. After this, it's nothing but micro-motors.

Best,
