What a coincident. Just took delivery of MC1.2kW yesterday. I was blown away. It is so much faster and powerful than mc275le. All detail came out. I could hear eric clapton tapping his foot while playing guitar. I think i made the right choice.

It's also because it's a quieter amp- higher signal to noise ratio, and all that reserve juice that controls the Scalas so very well. It's like driving a Rolls Royce Phantom at 40mph. Just luxuriously effortless. Glad you you like your choice! Say, what settings do you have on your Scala? Can you imagine the Stella on it now? The mid range is going to be real smooth!

Guys new to the site how would a pair of &B's sound with the Sopra no2's also paired with BP26 and Audioquest Aspen speaker cables?
Thinking about pulling the pin on a pair of Sopra no2's Thanks for your time |

Re-igniting an old thread!
I'm considering the focal utopia line. I have a mediumish room (19.5' x 22' x 8') and am looking to focal. I am considering the Scalas and Maestros. What kind of sonic differences do you hear between the two? Of note, I already own 2 REL 25 subwoofers for the low end.

Scala -airier hights. Midrange to high frequencies transition not so seamless as Maestro. |

btw, if you want those airier highs on the Maestro - all you have to do is put the jumper in the high position - it's as open as the Scala's highs and almost as "exciting" but considerably smoother. Ultimately, it's no contest, the Maestro crushes the Scala in terms of performance, BUT you need MASSIVE amounts of current into 2ohms to get full performance out of the Maestro (I'm finding that my current amps are not up to the task at 300W/8 ohms, 600W/4ohms but only 720W/2 ohms so I'm having to move to a beefier solution, but even with my current amps the Maestros are clearly superior) - if your amp doesn't have that, then wait for the Scala EVO, I expect that should be a fantastic speaker.

I had very bad expierence on Maestro withtop Orpheus and top Ayre amplification. I didnt listened but for some Technical Brain TBP-Zero/EX seems perfect match and 20years finalising search of perfect sound.

What do you mean by "bad experience"?
