Lovely speakers Mike. So the Devialet experiment has begun!
How do they compare to the Epicon 8?

Truthfully, I was going to get them instead of the Dali's, but I second guessed myself. The Dali's are great speakers, but I've always liked Focal's, whether its the Grand Utopia's paired with VAC (see: http://audioshark.org/ces-135/best-c...l#.VPBoOlPF9T4) or the Scala's. Big, natural sound. 8ohm load. Efficient - very efficient. And total adjustability (especially as you go up the line) for "dialing in" the speaker to your room. I would LOVE to hear the Stella's in my big room with the XS gear.
Some good reviews on the Scala V2's too: http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipmen..._utopia_v2.htm

Re: Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!
No arguments from me. They Focals were really good for show conditions and I like the monsters. Just was interested in your thought process. Bet they would sound sensational with your VAC electronics too!!! Originally Posted by Mike

Admittedly, vac and focal is excellent together, but so is Aesthetix and focal and this Devialet too.

Re: Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!
Thanks Kevin. So far so good.
I'm going to give them a few hundred hours before really assessing, but I they have already changed quite a bit in the past 24 hours.
The Devialet, I must say, is really incredible too.My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

Re: Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!
+ 1. I use 2 way Focal Utopia splits in my car which use the same driver technology & BE tweeter. The sound is very natural and resoloving (especially of low level detail). I am astonished at times at the amazing top end, staging, dynamics and bass. So their home speakers must be great too! Originally Posted by Brf

Re: Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!
Supposedly they can generate a new SAM pretty quickly now that they have done a bunch. Back around Thanksgiving the Devialet rep told me they could make one for a new speaker in less than a day. They may not have had a request for one for this speaker before; if you,let them know you want it they may write one quickly. Originally Posted by kzhtoo

I'll buzz them again next week and see.
I am really beyond smitten with this combo so far. I was just cranking Mahler Symphony No. 2 and just smiling ear to ear.

Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!
Thank you. The French connection so far, is really something. I've played with the settings on the Scala's for "highs" and "lows", but I'm loving the "normal" setting. So balanced. Musical. Admittedly, I've never seen the measurements on these speakers, but I have to think they measure like champs and I love how easy they are to drive. Originally Posted by Audio 1
