Anyone compared Focal Scala to Maestro

I have compared directly side by side. it depends what are you looking from sound reproduction and what music you are litening. Scala suited for small scale music, it's polite in the bass, midrange slight recessed and sounds very crispy in hights (best sounds with jazz, opera, and some vocals which are recorder right- without added exciter and upped lower hights-easily provocated in sibilance)

Maestro sound diferently- more faster, more resolution in midrange, hights are more neutral, bass is MUCH punchier and more dynamyc. music soundstage and projection is majestic, grandiosic- in another words - huge. hight more neutral(if scala transaprent because oh hights, maestro is trapaprent because of midrange clarity) there is two posible problems with Maestro- 1) placement in room
2) amplifier (Maestro MUCH MUCH more dependable on amp then Scala, I have heard same Maestro in same room with very diferent results in dynamyc and bass with diferent amplifiers)

hope this helps

Maestro is not a picnic for most amps(somehow with amps which can not deliver huge amount of curent in lower load speaker sound muddy,undynamyc and slow, with right amp they "breathe" and fill room energeticaly with sound- not just making sound liek soem tiny speakers. its sounds HUGE) with Maestro you will nee find proper placement to prevent it sounding "boxy" another solution is to moove listening distance closer than 4.5-5meter to 3-3.5 meters. in some room which have overal uper bass boost its quite dificult to make it sound neutral. but almost always slight warmth are better than lean spizzy sound.

congrats on new toy. it can do not only musicality- feed them accordingly with proper amplification and music material and they will blow your socks of as well :-)
