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

The dealer says that they are now considered used and a special order (grey base color). He says he can buy at cost a new pair with warranty for $20,000.

can you trade it in at another dealer like TMR and get B&Ws?

Not a great idea but not sure what else might work...

What don't you like about these speakers?

How long have you had them and how many hours listened? I would give them a chance you have nothing to lose. Of course it's gonna be a different sound.

Maybe breaking in would help? Maybe a therapist?

Whatever the reason, these Focal Scala Evo speakers don't like my electronics, my room, or my taste in music, I am not ready for this journey.

I am serious, if anyone would like to purchase these from me, less than 1-week old, contact me. I will try to find another pair of B&W 802D (1st gen diamond) speakers.

Can I ask what electronics did your dealer use when you heard them? Maybe there’s another issue to consider here?

Maybe you talked about it somewhere else herein. That’s an important issue to consider. Aside from the change in the room location which also is important.

I saw that electronic you're using are from PS audio.
