Amp for Focal Scala Utopia

Hi all,

I have just acquired some Focal Scala Utopia speakers. I am going to need new amps to drive them as my mcintosh c2300 and mc275 will not cut the mustard I think.

Anyway - I was considering being a bit radical and trading everything in for a devialet. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I prefer a sound with lots of resolution but retaining musicality. I would like a faster sound than the mac and more detail. I really like a deep soundstage too.

Thanks in advance. I have 2 sources - a vpi classic with all the bits and a Benz lps. Digital is akurate ds.

Thank you

Have you tried the Mc equipment? I added another Mc275 when I got the Dunlavys and couldn't be happier!

The MC275 is one of the best amp's I've ever owned. I'd upgrade your preamp first, then if you feel you need more power, add a second MC 275. Also, upgrade your tubes in your amp if you have not already done so.

Second that from Pdreher...another MC275 run in mono with upgraded tubes. Also, change fuse and power cord as adding a level of detail.
