I will be closing on a home within the next year or so.
Hoping to upgrade my speakers from Focal Aria 936's.

I was hoping someone here might have experiences with some of the speakers in the title.

The current used averages I have found are:

Scala v1: $10,000-$13,000 shipped
Scala v2: $16,000-18,000 shipped
Scala Evo: $25,000-$28,000 shipped
Maestro III: $22,000-26,000 shipped

I am trying to be at least a little bit weary of price, but I also want something that will last me awhile.

My current thought is to get a Scala v2, as it seems to be a good step up from the v1, and the Evo from what I have heard is a smaller step up from the v2.

The Maestro is tempting, but it supposedly shares the Scala v1 bass flaws.

The Evo is tempting to have something newer, but I am not sure there are enough benefits over the v2 to warrant a massive price hike.

The original Scala is still in the running, but I would guess the v2 would serve me better in the longer run.

Realistically, these options are all head and shoulders above the Aria 936, but I want to cure my upgradeitis for awhile.

Thanks!
