I don't know anything about this company and not promoting it but these prices sound way to good to believe.

[EDIT] Focal Stella Utopia EM Floorstanding Loudspeaker - MSRP: $95000

Those are not even Focals top of the line speakers. Those would be the Grande Utopia BE's which I believe cost double the Stella's or close to $200k.

Their speakers compete nicely with the best in the world.

Is this Focal new candy apple red or custom color?

John.......I can't be sure, but I think that is the color Focal calls Imperial Red. That color looks super with the black front.

As soon as I make the 5 hour drive to listen to them. The hard part is over picking the color.
