In short: Sell My Tech is a UK specialist buyer of Focal — the French maker known for the inverted-dome beryllium tweeter. We buy the Utopia flagships (Grande Utopia EM, Maestro, Scala, Diablo), the Sopra No1/No2/No3, the Kanta and Flax-cone Aria 900 range, the current Theva, plus Chora, Vestia and Sub subwoofers. We also buy Focal's high-end headphones & studio monitors. A matched pair leads the figure; a marked veneer or a tired driver won't end a sale. We collect carefully across the UK and pay on exchange.

Our Focal buying process

Sell your Focal in four steps

Four steps. From the details to payment, with free insured collection across the UK.

01

Tell us the Focal

Range and model (e.g. Sopra No2, Kanta No2, Aria 936, or a pair of Utopia), the finish, whether it's a matched pair or single, driver and cabinet condition, and your postcode. Headphones and monitors welcome too.

02

Get your offer

A market-led figure set by the range tier, pair-versus-single, the beryllium or aluminium tweeter and cone state, the finish, and whether you've kept the original crates, grilles and spikes.

03

Accept & book collection

Pick a slot that suits you. A Grande Utopia or a Sopra floorstander is a heavy two-person lift on its own pallet, so we do the carrying and shield the lacquer and leather in transit.

04

Get paid on exchange

We confirm the pair matches your description and that the inverted-dome tweeters and woofers play clean, then pay you straight away by bank transfer.

What you get when a specialist does the buying

No marketplace risk, no posting heavy kit, no lowball trade-in. A buyer who knows what your gear is really worth.

Paid on exchange

Faster Payment by bank transfer the moment we've checked the Focal over. Funds clear in under 2 hours for most UK banks. No waiting, no posting a crated floorstander.

Free, careful collection

A pair of Sopra or Utopia is a serious lift, often on its factory pallet. We come to you, carry it ourselves and shield the high-gloss lacquer and any leather panels on the way out.

Beryllium tweeters protected

The inverted beryllium dome is fragile and costly to replace, and the gloss flanks mark at a touch. We pad the tweeter, wrap the cabinet edges and crate the heavy models so a clean pair arrives clean.

Market-led offers

Benchmarked against sold Focal pairs on the used and audiophile market. Fair, current figures for the range, finish and tweeter type, with no haggling.

We know Focal

Where Utopia sits over Sopra and Kanta, what the beryllium dome and the 'W' or Flax cone add, which lacquers and leathers hold value, and how the headphones and monitors price. We work off the real market.

Support that replies

Real people who know a Scala Utopia from an Aria 936, not bots. Most quote requests answered within 2 hours during UK business hours, same-day at weekends.

Focal we buy

Every kind of Focal

Based in Yorkshire · UK-wide collection

Flagship

Utopia — Grande, Maestro, Scala & Diablo

The top of the house, with the focal-point W cones and the beryllium inverted dome. The Grande Utopia EM, Maestro, Scala and the Diablo standmount carry the strongest figures we handle, especially in leather-and-gloss finishes. Tell us the version and finish.

High-end

Sopra No1, No2 & No3

Sopra sits a step below Utopia and is a steady high-value seller. The No1 standmount, the No2 and the larger No3 floorstanders, with the beryllium tweeter and the distinctive curved cabinet. Boxed pairs in clean lacquer lead the figure.

Mid & entry

Kanta, Aria, Theva, Chora & Vestia

The Kanta No1/No2/No3, the Flax-cone Aria 900 line (906, 926, 936, 948 and the K2 versions), the current Theva range, plus Chora (806, 816, 826) and Vestia. A broad used market — a matched pair and a clean cabinet drive the number.

Headphones & monitors

Utopia, Stellia, Clear, Bathys & studio monitors

Focal's headphones are well worth selling — the Utopia and Stellia flagships, Clear and Clear Mg, Elegia, Elear, Celestee, Hadenys, Azurys and the Bathys wireless ANC. We also buy the Solo6, Twin6 and Shape studio monitors. Send the model and what's in the box.

Faulty & spares

Tired drivers, scuffs & split pairs

A damaged beryllium dome, a distorting W or Flax woofer, a perished surround, a scuffed lacquer flank or a single from a split pair — none of these end a sale on desirable Focal. Tell us what's wrong and we'll still quote.

Focal selling FAQ

Questions from sellers, answered

Common questions from people selling their Focal. Answered honestly.

What Focal speakers do you buy?
Most of the range. The Utopia flagships (Grande Utopia EM, Maestro, Scala, Diablo), Sopra No1/No2/No3, Kanta No1/No2/No3, the Aria 900 line (906, 926, 936, 948 and K2), the current Theva range, plus Chora, Vestia, the Sub subwoofers and the older Electra and Profile. Matched pairs are what we want most. Send the model and finish and we'll tell you straight whether it's one for us.
How much is my Focal worth?
It comes down to the range tier, whether it's a complete matched pair, the state of the beryllium or aluminium-magnesium tweeter and the cones, the finish, and whether you've kept the crates. The price guide above shows indicative buy-back bands by range. A boxed Utopia or Sopra pair sits at the top, an Aria or Theva pair lower. Send the exact model for a firm figure.
Why is Utopia worth so much more than Aria or Theva?
Range tier is the biggest factor in a Focal figure. Utopia uses the pure-beryllium inverted dome, the W sandwich cones and hand-finished leather and lacquer, so it commands far more than the mid and entry lines. Sopra sits right under it, then Kanta, with the Flax-cone Aria and the current Theva below. Tell us the exact model and we'll place it correctly.
Do you buy Focal headphones — Utopia, Stellia, Clear, Bathys?
Yes. Focal's open and closed-back headphones have a strong used market — the Utopia and Stellia flagships, Clear and Clear Mg, Elegia, Elear, Celestee, the newer Hadenys and Azurys, and the Bathys wireless ANC. Condition of the pads, headband and cable matters most, and the original case helps. Send the model and what's included for a figure.
Do you buy Focal studio monitors like the Solo6 and Twin6?
Yes, we buy the active studio monitors — the Solo6, Twin6 and the Shape range. As they're powered, we do check that each one boots and plays through both the woofer and tweeter, so mention the model, that they power up cleanly and whether you have a matched pair. A faulty monitor on a desirable line is still worth quoting for repair.
Do I need both speakers, or will you buy a single?
A matched pair is worth far more than one cabinet — most buyers need two, so a lone Focal is mainly a spare or a repair donor. We'll still look at a single from a desirable line like a Sopra or a Utopia, but expect the figure to be a small fraction of a pair. Always say whether you have a pair or only the one.
Can I sell Focal with a damaged beryllium tweeter or a tired woofer?
Often, yes. The pure-beryllium inverted dome is delicate and pricey to replace, and a distorting W or Flax woofer or a perished surround is repairable on desirable models, so we still buy and factor the work into the offer. Tell us which driver and which cabinet is affected for an accurate figure rather than a guess on collection.
How much do the original crates and finish matter?
Both count for a lot on Focal. The bigger Utopia and Sopra ship in fitted crates that make them far safer to move and lift the figure, and the finish matters to the next owner — high-gloss lacquer and leather show every scuff, while a clean veneer holds value. If the crates are long gone we still buy and bring our own protection; do mention it so the quote is accurate.
Do scuffs or marks on the cabinets affect the price?
They can. Focal's high-gloss lacquer and the leather panels on Utopia show scuffs, ring marks and chipped edges, and cosmetics matter on resale. Light marks trim a little; a cracked cabinet or heavy lacquer damage trims more. Honest photos with your enquiry get you an accurate figure with no surprises when we collect.
Can I sell a whole Focal system or Focal with other hi-fi?
Yes. If you're clearing a setup you can sell the Focal speakers, a Sub subwoofer and the electronics together. Focal sits under our speakers category, and for the amp, streamer or deck driving them see our hi-fi hub. Bowers & Wilkins is the natural premium-speaker peer if you're comparing — list the lot in one quote and we'll price it as a job and collect it in one visit.

Sold my Technics SL1210s

Sold my Technics SL1210s. The whole process was really straightforward. I sent the details through the website and got a fair quote back pretty quickly. Once I accepted, they arranged collection for the same day in Leeds. Communication was good throughout and payment was made straight after the unit was collected and checked. Really smooth experience overall and I'd happily recommend them.
