Focal Maestro Utopia III vs. YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2


I have a pair of Dynaudio C4 MK2 what I want to upgrade. Right now I have the opportunity to buy the above mentioned speakers almost at the same price, Focal is a bit cheaper. What I'm looking for is more 3D, bigger sound stage, authoritive extended and precise bass. I don't want a bright sounding system. My components are dCS Rossini player + master clock, Soulution 725 pre, Krell EVO 600 mono, Tara Labs Omega Gold spkr cables, Tara Labs Cobalt and Krell Vector pwr cords, Nordost Tyr 2 ics. So which one would you choose and why? Tell me the pros and cons. If you have personal experience please share it.

Maestro  utopia iii EVO is what you want.  Drastically improved over the last version.
Just so you know, the EVO is a hugely different speaker than the v2.  Sounds dramatically different (better).

Not sure why your dealer is down playing it.  I’d try to have a listen to them if you can — you will be blown away.
