RaidHo C1.1 vs Focal Diablo Utopia

I am in the process of upgrading from my KEF Reference 1 stand mount speakers, and I am have a set of Raidho D-2.1's in my room. I bought these used of course, they are not the latest, and admittedly an upgrade over the C1.1's, however the soundstage, imaging and detail are quite exceptional, something that Raidho known for. Not to say that Focal is not a worthy competitor, but I think a lot of others will tell you to make sure you listen to a pair before you buy them. They are quite forward, and I would agree, but my Focal experience only comes from AXPONA, so not ideal.

I also intend to try the QLN 3 speaker, if you are interested in stand mounts, you might look into the QLN Prestige (not $ignature) 1. QLN is known for great imaging and a warmer sound. Sonus Faber and Joseph Audio are good choices as well. And KEF Reference for that matter. There are a ton of options out there, certainly look beyond Focal. 

Upgrading is part of the fun, but take your time. I assume you are using the built in DAC and phono stages in the Rowland, you could experiment with some separates there. I would also encourage you to attend a show, I found it very helpful in identifying gear that seemed to suit me, and eliminating a lot of brands that do not. And it is a good time.
