French audio manufacturer Focal has secured the prestigious EISA High-End Streaming Loudspeakers Award for 2025-2026 with its groundbreaking Diva Utopia, a wireless, active loudspeaker system that redefines high-fidelity audio. The Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), a coalition of 54 technology magazines and websites across 27 countries, recognized the Diva Utopia for its exceptional sound quality, innovative design, and seamless integration of advanced streaming technology.

The Focal Diva Utopia stands out as more than just a loudspeaker. This all-in-one system combines a streaming platform, digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and 2x400W of Class AB amplification, delivering a powerful and detailed soundstage. By merging Focal’s renowned acoustic engineering with the electronics expertise of its sister brand, Naim Audio, the Diva Utopia offers a complete audio solution that eliminates the need for external amplifiers or complex wiring.

A Fusion of Innovation and Performance

Developed over five years, the Diva Utopia is a 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding speaker featuring Focal’s signature technologies. It includes a 6.5-inch ‘W’ cone midbass driver, four side-mounted 6.5-inch ‘W’ woofers in a push-push configuration for deep, distortion-free bass, and a 1.6-inch beryllium tweeter with an ‘M’ profile for precise high-frequency reproduction. The system’s frequency response spans an impressive 27Hz to 40kHz, making it suitable for rooms up to 80 square meters.

Naim’s Pulse Platform powers the Diva Utopia’s streaming capabilities, supporting high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD128. The speakers leverage Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology for latency-free wireless audio transmission, achieving up to 24-bit/96kHz wirelessly or 24-bit/192kHz when hardwired with the provided RJ45 cable. Connectivity options are extensive, including Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Adaptive, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, and UPnP. Physical inputs include HDMI eARC for TV audio, optical, RCA, and USB, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of sources, from vinyl turntables to digital media players.

Design That Captivates

Beyond its sonic prowess, the Diva Utopia impresses with its striking design. Eschewing traditional rectangular enclosures, Focal opted for a high-density polymer cabinet with curves and angles, wrapped in a removable grey felt finish that balances aesthetics and acoustics. A brushed aluminum ribbon around the tweeter and a backlit Focal logo add a touch of elegance, while the downward-firing bass reflex port and integrated aluminum plinth enhance both performance and stability. Each speaker, weighing 64kg, comes with casters for easy positioning and spikes for optimal sound clarity.

The system’s user-friendly interface allows control via the Focal & Naim app, a dedicated remote, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri. It also integrates seamlessly with home automation systems such as Control4 and Crestron, making it a versatile centerpiece for multi-room audio setups.

Critical Acclaim and Industry Impact

EISA praised the Diva Utopia as “a spectacular-sounding system” that combines “the best of Focal’s cabinet design and driver technology with Naim’s electronics expertise.” The award highlights its ability to deliver exceptional performance across various use cases, from streaming music via Bluetooth or the Focal & Naim app to handling TV audio through HDMI eARC. Reviewers have lauded its clarity, detail resolution, and bass definition, noting that it “proves high-end sound quality is possible from a neat and stylish speaker system solution” despite its premium price of $39,999 / £29,999 / AU$59,999.

The system’s ability to handle diverse music genres with “muscularity, insight, scale, and attack” has positioned it as a benchmark for high-end audio, appealing to audiophiles who value both performance and convenience.

Availability and Legacy

The Focal Diva Utopia is available exclusively at Focal Powered by Naim stores, with a release date of October 2024. Priced at $39,999 USD or $51,999 CAD per pair, it targets discerning listeners who demand uncompromising audio quality in a modern, user-friendly package.

This EISA award cements Focal’s reputation as a leader in high-fidelity audio, building on its 45-year legacy of crafting premium loudspeakers. The Diva Utopia’s innovative approach to integrating wireless technology with audiophile-grade performance signals a new era for high-end audio, blending tradition with cutting-edge convenience.
