Thanks @harisjaved1379
Hi Theo, I'm going to say that the speakers behind you are THE Focal Scala Utopia EVO. I'm not sure what finish you have, but I'm pretty confident that those are the Scala Utopia's. Okay, okay, okay I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you have the black lacquer finish. There you go. I'm sure this will sound fantastic. Best Wishes, Ernest

There's an astute Audioholic!
Chefs Kiss 🥂 those Focal
What I would like to see is a decoder on its own without amplifiers.
Can we pretty please get the review video now been checking daily and dying to know as was contemplating the Astra with Utopia IW1000 🙏🙏🙏🙏
When does this come out?
I'm not sure what part of this system has the most eye watering sticker shock by device. The Astral is 20k alone.
Similar shape to the Kanta but it’s too big. Unfortunately that means it is one of the Sopras which means I can’t afford it 😅. Was excited for a moment to confirm if Kantas could be used well in HT. I am excited to see a true music capable setup also go for movies.

This will be exactly the focus of the review. Part 1 is 2 channel and part 2 is home theater
Mmmm Focal. So delicious. Wish i could afford their home theater setup, just a 6.5" component set for a car and some amps. 😁 Scala's have always been a dream of mine! Is this the mark 3? If you mix these with chocolately cables you make fudge.

Yes, Utopia and I’m seated in front of them.
I hope your going to compare the Focal Astral processor to your Anthem avm 90.

Put them head to head in your system. And compare your results, I just got the avm 90, and I had a higher $$$ home theater processor with Dirac Live. I decide to go with the Anthem avm 90 because of 4 indépendant subwoofer output, my first time with ARC Genesis, plus I've read in a european review, from and owner of a Trinnov altitude 16 that tryed the AVM 90, in is system, and was really impress with it compare is Trinnov, so I would like to know your tought on the déférence between these 2 processor, in your own system.

@@invisibles362the entire review setup-including the Astral-has gone back to Focal so that won’t be possible. What I would say is that is that the AVM 90 is a fantastic sounding processor for a canonical 9.4.6 setup. The Astral 16 is at a whole other level for customization, fine tuning, and optimizing your system and you can direct LFE to any speaker on a speaker by speaker basis.

Seems that theAstral AVR is already almost obsolete, without Dirac Active Bass Control for 4 Subs

Choose 1 and I think you've got it.
Are you at all embarrassed that you can't pronounce your own name?
