Comparing Wilson Audio to Focal to B&W

[Douglas]

A friend has Wilson Audio Sasha series 1 and recently we compared it to Focal Utopia Scala V2. I have always been a huge fan of the Focal Utopia range until I heard the Scala in the same room with the same electronics and I cannot begin to explain my disappointment in the Focal.

The Scala sounded absolutely terrible at low to medium volume levels. It sounded dull with poor dynamics and very uninvolving at lowish levels. It only and very suddenly comes alive basically at ear-splitting levels.

The Scala's had poor coherence and it sounded like the bass was doing it own dance. Overall it sounded uninvolving and did not draw me into the music. The Wilson was much better, and I am not a fan of the Sasha V1! Amps were Pass 100.8's

I agree with Bart, you should broaden your horizons, Vivid and YG also comes to mind.
