Focal Utopia III Scala V2's in the house!

I haven't heard the V2 tweeter, but having owned the D3's, there aren't many tweeters in the world much better than the Raidho ribbon.
 
The ribbon tweeter is very very fast sounding. I love it.

I would not trade the Scala V2's for the Salon 2's, if that's what you're asking. The Scala V2's are WAY more efficient, tube friendly, whatever. They have better dynamics, better mids (not recessed), and only give up a titch of overall smoothness on the top end to the Salon 2's. You can also tell that the driver integration is much more seamless.

But I wouldn't buy anything yet. Wait until after Munich (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) - then we can talk again. :)

I can attest, 15+years ago Esotar was superior to anything from Focal .....

Not really talking about 15 years ago. I wouldn't have had much experience with either Focal or Dynaudio then. But I did have both Electra 1008 Be and Dynaudio C1 MK2 a few years back and I couldn't understand why I preferred Be over Esotar2 for the longest time, esp. people were telling me Be was bright and Esotar2 was smooth as butter (it was almost insulting my intelligence that I could not tell what sounds bright and what doesn't). Not only the top end, I also preferred Electra mid-range over C1 as well, but C1 low end was clearly better.
 
I can understand the discrepancy, xover implementation and system bandwidth can also account for "brightness" , caps used will add a signature, making it not as simple as comparing tweeters from completely different speaker systems .....


Regards

My guess is a new hybrid Beryllium adjustable ribbon tweeter that is adjustable for tubes, ss, listener ear height, declining frequency bandwidth for older listeners with an antisibilance & antibright toggle switch.
A guy can dream right?

what happened with all the buzz? v2s are nowhere to be seen, the whole line abandoned, that is how "good" they were. in only 2 years..no more.
