i have Focal Maestro with Mc Intosh C50 and mono 601.
Cables all Mit Matrix.
The sound is fantastic with very good bass.
My speakers were Wilson 5, Canton Reference1, Focal La Scala,
Magico V3 and Magico Q5.
I 'm happy with my current system,

Pelo, I can't say that Focal Maestro is a better speaker than the
Magico Q5. They are very different and it also depend on what
kind of music you listen to.
Magico are more transparent and for classic, some kind of jazz are
fantastic. Maestro are more dinamyc and give weight to the music.
For rock,blues ,reggae are better.
The bass in the Magico is more accurate but In the Maestro has more
punch. Focal Maestro are also more forgiving in amplifier (therefore you
can also save some money). I find my Maestro with MC Intosh very good.
