I don't know if Utopia is bright or not, haven't used it myself, can only review it once I use it. Hmm I only spent my money to experience something different this time.
I have used almost every brand locally available, and settled down with Focal. To your further surprise, I quit audio for almost two years back in 2008-2009, some weird thing happened to me and I could not listen to any music, after I heard Focal, I felt I can pursue this brand further, never felt bright to my sensitive ears so far.
Post some reviews here, lets read what you have been reading. And 6 to 8 months is a lot of time to enjoy a system, I changed from KRX2 to KRX3 in less than that, God knows whats coming next for me in future. On DIY you always hear this, Focal is bright, why? Cause who review it as bright has never heard Focal in the first place.
