Upgrade from B&W 802D1 to Focal Utopia Scala Evo

Anyway, I'm still interested in your BHK preamp. I need a neutral clinical sounding tube preamp.

I am totally confused. The dealer still has your B&Ws. Returns must be a state level regulation. Ask a lawyer. Ask for a restocking fee. Don't be stuck with something you don't like.

In Pennsylvania, there is no state level regulations for returns. 

I’m stuck with a pair of Focal Scala Evo speakers that the dealer will not take back 3-4 days after delivery in a standard finish.

They are worth 1/2 of what I paid for them.

Even Focal is annoyed that the dealer won’t return them.

That sucks. What a short-sighted dealer. I would name them and leave a review. 

I had a similar experience when I wanted to return speakers for obvious damages and I was told no. I could have gotten my credit card company involved but I didn't. It sounds like something is wrong with the Focals if they sound so lame. They should really blow your mind and if they don't then maybe a flaw would give you a reason to return them. 

Perhaps a different amp might resolve this issue? I was not initially impressed with my Focal Kanta when using a lower end amp, but after replacing it with McIntosh MA12000 - they sound good.
