Interested in Focal Scala Utopias


I'd like to know more about the characteristics of these speakers. Anyone familiar with them? I don't think there are any US dealers.

Hi Elviukai,

Your comments seem to confirm some reviews that the Maestro is a better "sweet spot" higher up the range if one can afford it. The Scala has been well-reviewed too though.

You say the Scala is "intolerant to sibilances". Why is it and not the Maestro? Just curious, as they use pretty much the same drivers and Xovers.

As for me, I could "only" afford the Diablo. They're just amazing. The Maestro must be like them with more bass I suppose!

It does, thanks! :)
My Diablos sound amazingly smooth with solid state amps so haven't experienced any harshness. They're actually the smoothest souding speakers I've had, probably due to the low distortion of the tweeter.
That was clear. I didn't want people to be worried about the Diablos as I've read so many weird opinions about the Utopia line... :)

Cheers

JB
