Focal Alto Utopia or Dynaudio C2 + Fathom 112

Hi all, my quest for audio nirvana has led me to decide between a set of Lab Alto Utopia or C2 + Fathom 112, I have heard both setup and would prefer the Alto for mid to higher frequency and being a bass freak, have loved the JL sub very much, the JL sub is simply a league of its own.

And to me the C2 + JL 112 combo looks more modern, my concern is the integration and coherence between the C2 and fathom 112.

Please give me your thought on the respective strength and weakness and what would be the "educated" choice.

Thank you so much..

I own older Focals and built my system around them. It is indeed their treble and midrange that is what makes them unique and special. I am not a bass freak but understand your taste/preferences. What is stopping you from adding a JL sub to the Focals? Also remember that the C2s are harder to drive than the Focals.
That said if you like the C2 and Fathom combination why not buy them. You will not get the same crystaline halography that the Focals can, if you need someone to reinforce your impression of the Focal sound I testify that you are not "just hearing things" that is the way they are if proper electronics are employed.
