While I was auditioning various speakers before settling on my Dyns, I listened to the Scalas. My first (and second) exposure with them left me unimpressed and I sort of wrote Focal off (much like I wrote Wilson off).
During my amp upgrade my Pass dealer had Focals in his showroom and I "settled" on listening through them rather than the Gamut or MBL he had available. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. Very very good tone, musicality and resolution. I've said this before about metal tweeters, but, when done right, they are not too bright and can delivery a very rewarding experience.
Congratulations on your speakers. I know when the time comes for my new speakers, I will look hard at Focal, among others I so readily dismissed before.
