My local shop carries the Focal Utopia speakers and they currently have Asthetix gear paired with them, but I much preferred the Krell gear they had previously. I have never been more impressed than with Krell and Focal and this goes from the Utopia with Krell mono-blocks down to Chorus series speakers with the S-300i integrated.
choosing interconnect/Speakers/AC -Maestro Utopia
this is my current setup:
acoustic zen silver reference ii XLR interconnect
Cardas Clear speaker cable
wireworld platinum usb cable
Focal Maestro Utopia
Pass labs X350.5
Pass labs Xp10 pre
Oppo BDP-105
regular PC computer
i ordered Luxman DA-06 , should get it soon
the Maestro Utopia i bought recently
i think the AMP and PRE are not good match with the new speakers and i will upgrade in the future (not sure what to choose)
do you know what brand and models i should demo?
heard that Nordost and Tara Labs are good match with Utopia
they have speed (dynamic) and also some "warm"
i'm not sure
Thanks
