Thanks for the thoughts, both of you.
Good to know that the Maestro III doesn't have any bass troubles.
Might keep a closer eye on listings for them.
Part of me thinks I might be better off with a Scala v2 or something a bit smaller, though. I do not have a massive room to fill, although I do love my bass...
The Sopra series has been tempting me this entire time, as well.
Part of me just figures I might as well get into the Utopia series now and call it quits, though. My guess is that it would eat me alive if I purchased a Sopra over a Utopia (until I eventually gave in and upgraded)
The main purpose of going from the Aria series upwards for me is to make sure I have something that will last me a chunk of time. Preferably the next 5-10 years at minimum.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision that I have been considering for the last two years at this point. I have tried a lot of these speakers and enjoyed all of them immensely, I am a sucker for the Focal sound and "art-like" design.
