Apparently the Scala EVO and Maestro EVO are shipping beginning in September 2017.

Also, a good excuse for Focal to put some price hikes (20%!) into effect:

Scala EVO US$40,000 (EUR32,000)

Maestro EVO US$65,000 (EUR52,000) Strangely, no longer a 3 1/2 way speaker, just a regular 3 way speaker even though the MDS system stays for the bottom woofer.

No surprise but Scala V2 and Maestro are now discontinued.

Apparently, Focal has confirmed that there will be no changes to the other speakers in the Utopia line.
