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

bartsw - thanks for the information, it's a very subtle change approximately 1db.

Then you need to use EQ or buy a warmer preamp or amp. I use EQ on my 802 and still jack up the bass and treble.

what's a good quality EQ for such a system?

I have a PS Audio BHK preamp, BHK 300 monoblocks

If you have a streamer with digital EQ and room EQ that should work. Analog EQ could add noise unless you don't mind analog.

The BHK is neutral. I would take it one step at a time before replacing everything.
