Naim Electronics And Focal Loudspeakers At FIAE 2025
Polite sounds from this dynamic duo.
Florida International Audio Expo 2025 Show Report By Steven R. Rochlin

  As seen at many shows globally, Naim had a nice selection of their electronics that were driving Focal stand-mounted and floorstanding loudspeakers. Both Naim and Focal want Enjoy the Music.com readers to know that "The success of these sophisticated spaces lies in their superb comfort and music-fueled emotion, creating a unique opportunity to explore what both brands have to offer." And yes, as we find with luxurious high-end horology (mechanical timepieces), only Focal Powered by Naim retailers can present and sell certain exclusive creations, such as Diva Utopia modern wireless and connected active hi-fi loudspeakers or leather finish options available for models from the Utopia range.

Rest assured Enjoy the Music.com's special Florida International Audio Expo 2025 report alerts our loyal fans that the newest Focal Powered by Naim location in the USA is Kontrol Freaks right here in Tampa, FL. Services include high-fidelity (hi-fi) stereo audio, immersive home theater, plus media rooms, home control and automation, outdoor audio/video, shades, lighting, surveillance systems, networks, and pre-wiring new builds. For those deeply into design, Kontrol Freaks will also work with architects and designers from beginning to end to integrate all immersive audio and video systems within your home.

Here at the Florida International Audio Expo 2025, Focal / Naim was in Room 416 with product specialist Chris Shaw giving demos of:

• New Focal Diva Utopia ($40,000 per pair)
• Focal Kanta N1 with Naim CI-Uniti 102 Streamer Amplifier
• Focal Headphones with Naim Uniti Atom HE
• Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO 
• Musica Fidelity Nu-Vista 800.2 Integrated Amplifier

• Focal Kanta N1 ($8,000/pair) With Naim CI Uniti 102
• Naim CI-Uniti 102 ($1,499)
• CI-NAP 108 ($2,999)

• Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO InEbene Blanc ($30,000/pair)
• Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800.2 ($11,4999)
• Nu-Vista PRE ($26,299)
• Nu-Vista PAS ($28,399)

As one would expect from the Naim and Focal combo, the sound was 'British polite' with smooth highs, natural midrange, and slightly dry deep bass. Imaging was excellent, and am sure in a larger room it would be very immersive. A fun stereo sound system for those who desire a properly polite soundfield.
