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

Update: I have tried all my various interconnect, speaker, bi-wired, speaker tone-jumper combinations without any success.

I went back to the most bright/aggressive cables I have:

All Audioquest Water interconnects

Bi-Wire Audioquest Indigo speeaker cables

Treble -1db, and Bass +1 db

I'm finding that it is not as ear piercing bright as I first remembered it. In fact it is very listenable with good resolution.

Speakers just hit the 300 hour mark.

Is this the speakers breaking in? or is it my ears/brain finally going numb?

Probably both but mostly the later because people with experience with both can attest to Focal sounding more detailed and brighter.

that age old question: which is your choice .... 

focal Utopia III Evo

or

B&W 802 D4
