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.

I had JM Focal Utopia la Scala 3 with Mc Intosh
amplifier and thy were real good. With Spectal
equipment JM Lab is just too much forward.
Therefore I bought Magico V3 perfect for Spectral.
So I think it is very important to give to the JM Lab
the right Amp.
it mainly depends on recodrds, not asociated equpment. with scala on too much "audiophle" records where mastering enginier "pupmed" up 7-10khz to make more "briliant" ,trasparency and "air" they are not listenable at all. when comparing diecty to Maestro utopia there is very audible diferencies on theese two speakers(where Maestro not sound so "pupmped up audiphile briliance sound")
Elviukai,

My comments were regarding someone not hearing any sibilance at all with the Scala.

Now that I have the Scala spiked into the ground there is no sibilance generally unless, of course, as you noted, it is in the recording (and ime, sibilance is not only found in audiophile recordings but, also, a lot of commercially available music) but, then again, there is a lot of sibilance in human speech that we tend to tune out. It may also be the case that I am particularly sensitive to this phenomenon.

In any case, I have no issue with the Scala and sibilance.

I am not sure who your question is directed at, but if it's me, you can just click on the word "System" next to my username at the bottom of any of my posts and you will get all the details regarding my system.
