Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has directly compared the Focal Scala to the Wilson Sasha? I have recently auditioned the Focal Scala a couple of times and whilst at first I was not quite satisfied , upon a second and more thorough listening I must say, I am seduced. Problem is, I have also loved Wilson speakers but, living in Australia- no one is getting the Sashas for another 2-3 months. Any suggestions?? Do I go with the Scalas now, or wait to audition the Wilson Sashas? Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks.
-Cameron.

I would wait to hear the sashas. My one time listen to them i found them to be on the bright side.

Listened to Scala yesterday. But only 50hrs use. Was not near the level we experienced previously. Sound lacked focus and background not very quiet.

For Scala owners, did you experience this during break in?

what I heard from some fellow audiophiles is there is a synergy between Focal and Accuphase. However, Together with nordost cables,(if it is a all valhalla)some might expect different sound.
As far as my setup concerned, I am not sure if it is burnt or not. But still I have been waiting for a few cables where will critic effect likely occur.(PAD Anniversary interconnect and PAD P.P. powercord. Even, there may take speaker cable change. Sometimes I think also change the poweramp but first I have settle the cable thing.It is between you and me, I also consider Accuphase M-6000 mono amps, Esoteric own class a amp, or maybe just Accuphase P-7100. We will see. But I am sure in a few weeks or days, I will see Focal Scalas full potential, I bet....
