Anyone compared Focal Scala to Maestro


Hi all,

I currently own the Focal Scala utopia, which I love very much. I have the chance to upgrade to the Maestro at a good price - has anyone heard the two and what differences can I expect?

My room is a good size - 30 ft x 27ft.

Many thanks

Hi Elviukai,

This does help immensely - thank you very much.

I do like my larger scale orchestral music, which was once of the main factors that was leading me to the Maestro. I also wanted more bass and so was considering adding a Rel G1 to my setup or going for Maestro.

I am using the Devialet, which is great with the Scala. I wrote to Devialet and they told me that a single Devialet will have no problems at all driving the Maestro and they have used the combination.

What is the optimal placement in room? Do they require acres of space behind them or are they difficult to get that 3D image working well?

Many thanks
Hi Guys,

I ended up buying the Maestro and what a speaker it is. Arrived today and already sounds out of this world! Humongous soundstage and incredibly musical.
Thanks guys. These really are in quite a different league to the scala. My analogy would be going from playing piano on an upright and going to a grand.
Listening to cellos and basses, you get a very full bodied timbre. Piano has a weight to it.
Looking forward to when they break in properly.

Lovely.
Hi Focal Owners,

I was recently introduced to the stillpoints range under my maestros. The differences with them in position is quite profound. Overall, they are faster with superior resolution across all the frequencies. They are a must have IMO.
