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?

Focal Utopia 3 Diablos with Devialet D200. Neutral, neutral, neutral.  Nothing that's not already there. More transparent and revealing than anything I've ever listened to including Magico's.  Not bright or harsh or anything like, just air for miles.  Soundstage only limited by my room and placement.   Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 speaker cables brought some added richness and weight.  Super tight and detailed across the spectrum.  Pretty hard to imagine anything better - apart from going dual-mono D400 or better still D1000.  Adding a second JL Fathom will probably just fill in the bass further.  Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 power cords have been an incremental step forward.

I originally headed down the Devialet route after demoing the ARC75 with Scalas - they had the D200 also and it blew the ARC away.  Perfect match for Focal.
