Focal Utopia General Discussion
I've had driver failures with my 2020 model which had to be sent away twice to be repaired . Apparently the 2022 version is supposed to be more reliable.- supermj

That finally developed a channel failure problem after an hour or so use. Would i...- supermj

Focal Arche: Anyone compared to other options in its price range?
Let us know how you get on. Mine was out of the 2 year warranty of about 6 months, but i used my "consumer rights" that we have in the UK in which electrical goods should last certain amount of time trouble free ( 6 years here ).

Finally got my Arche back from Naim support but his is not my original one, naim gave me a replacement and said the original has gone back to France. It's not a new one but it is in good condition. Lets see how we get on with this one. Great guys at Naim support.- supermj
