What Are You Powering Your Focal Utopias With?


Focal Scala Utopias v1 will arrive Friday. 
They will replace Wilson Sasha v1 in my 14x21x10 room.  ARC ref 3 to ref 75 will be initial setup.  What do you power your Focals with?

I had the Scala v1 for many years powered by the Ayre MX-R and more recently the upgraded Twenty.

The main point that you should be aware of is that the Scala has a bright/rougher tweeter so you need to have a setup that doesn’t accentuate the highs. The Ayre isn’t the sweetest up top and I ended up having to shelve the tweeter down - took away some air and sparkle but not much choice given the normal tweeter setting was typically too bright for my taste.
