S3 Mark II vs Scala Utopia V2

Smodtactical, personally we would still recommend the Persona 9H over either of these, as you are getting a speaker with room correction and deeper bass.

However, the Focals sound much more vibrant then the Magicos.

The newer and much larger Grande Utopia Evo 3 were souning spectacular at Axpona however, that was on Naim statement gear which costs $300k.

In our past demos of the non Evo 3 systems that image was not as defined, the newer Focals image way better than the older series.

So if you want a more vibrant sound with a very smooth yet detailed top end Focal.


If you want a more laid back perspective the Magicos.

If you want a speaker which has greater detail with a more precise image and deeper bass just pony up for the Persona 9H which in your country of Canada should be a great deal cheaper than the states.

Happy hunting.

all my love for Magico is hearing them at shows and being unmoved by them at axpona a few years Magico was in many rooms the extremely expensive setups were especially poor.
