replace my Focal Electra 1038 , please advice


this is my system:
acoustic zen silver reference ii XLR interconnect
Cardas Clear speaker cable
wireworld platinum usb cable
Focal Electra 1038 be II
Pass labs X350.5
Pass labs Xp10 pre
Oppo BDP-105
PC computer

for DAC i though about one of those:
Luxman DA-06 (Japan model cost $3000 but i don't know if it will work in the US? Japan using 100V
Meitner Audio MA-1 , found 6 month old.

i got offer from my dealer for Focal Scala Utopia brand new
but the old model , not the V2
the price with shipping: $16K
do you think it's a good price?
any other brands/models i should consider around that price?

my AMP and PRE will be a good match to the new speakers?

Thanks

Price is good. I have never heard them but have heard the 1037be (no 1038be) many times and thought they were just ok. I kept and eye out for a used Pair of Scalas at one point but it never worked out for me (loved the looks).

In that price range other speakers I would have on my list are used Wilson's, Magicos, and Rockports (don't come up much) and Vivid Audio (come up even less...).
