Focal Maestro Utopia III vs. YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2

I have a pair of Dynaudio C4 MK2 what I want to upgrade. Right now I have the opportunity to buy the above mentioned speakers almost at the same price, Focal is a bit cheaper. What I'm looking for is more 3D, bigger sound stage, authoritive extended and precise bass. I don't want a bright sounding system. My components are dCS Rossini player + master clock, Soulution 725 pre, Krell EVO 600 mono, Tara Labs Omega Gold spkr cables, Tara Labs Cobalt and Krell Vector pwr cords, Nordost Tyr 2 ics. So which one would you choose and why? Tell me the pros and cons. If you have personal experience please share it.

Thanks for the answers.

I asked my Focal dealer about the differences between the Evo and the previous MK3 version.

He said the main differences between maestro and evo is the possibilities for bi-wiring or bi-amp due to difficulties to drive correctly without a big amplifier, but if you have one, no problem. Evo is a 3 way speakers instead 3 1/2 for original version so now a 8 ohm unit not 4 ohm.

I have plenty of power so I don't think it is neccessary to go for the EVO. And in the other hand there is a big price difference.
