Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?
kw13The problem is not the speakers, or room acustics. The Problem is the combination of the dealer has set for you.Avoid all Accuphase setup, plus Chord electronics which is a nice partner for KEF speakers but not for Focal.Try a solid state like... 
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?

Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?
