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.

Unfortunately, Sound By Singer doesn't have the Scala.

Anyone know of another east coast dealer?
You can contact Focal's US distributor, Audio Plus Services. I am sure they can point you to the right dealer.

Good luck!
do yourself a favour and order Maestro, I did hear extensively all utopia range side by side. Scala is great speaker(only complaints can be shy bass, intoleranse to sibilance and compression at higher levels) but Maestro is MUCH better- its way much smoother, but have more detail, transpaent but not bright, does not go in to compression on higher levels,bass can be felt not only heard, have soundstage and coherensy of drivers like not any other utopia III speakers(including Grande EM and Stella EM)
Hi Elviukai,

Your comments seem to confirm some reviews that the Maestro is a better "sweet spot" higher up the range if one can afford it. The Scala has been well-reviewed too though.

You say the Scala is "intolerant to sibilances". Why is it and not the Maestro? Just curious, as they use pretty much the same drivers and Xovers.

As for me, I could "only" afford the Diablo. They're just amazing. The Maestro must be like them with more bass I suppose!
