I have someone wanting to sell me these Focal Utopia 165 W3 speakers but I cant find any information about them. Hoping someone could tell me if they are real and if they are in good condition, worth the $800 the seller is asking for.

Nicely put.feed them marginal source material and these speakers are going to expose weaknesses in your system, not make weakness sound better.
Thank you all for your responses. I think I will get a new set. Trying to get a new system installed anyway.View attachment 53419
Excellent set of speakers if they're in good condition. I ran the home audio version of that midbass driver for a while. Still have them in my basement. The tweeter is really bright and best run off-axis. Back in the day, people seemed to have the best luck cross firing that tweeter in the a-pillars as opposed to aiming them on axis. That set tends to sound accurate and detailed, a tad aggressive and forward. They lack "fatness" and warmth. If you like the laid back sound of Morel, Dynaudio, CDT, you may not like the sound of the Focals.I have someone wanting to sell me these Focal Utopia 165 W3 speakers but I cant find any information about them.
