Review

The system is smooth and fabulously detailed, with an elegant and broadly neutral tonality leavened with a hint of warmth. The L&R sounds full blooded and responsive, though there is a trace of overhang following heavy transients.

As usual, the real glory of the Utopia Be is the fabulous midrange, which has depth, warmth and pungency combined with class leading detail. What’s more, it’s capable of a genuinely multifaceted performance, so that the individual parts of a complex recording are kept simultaneously in focus without clogging sound up or erasing fine detail.

The L&R Utopia Be is, in short, a credible and realistic transducer, which is gentle and softly spoken, but can bark like a true heavyweight when required.
