Focal can really be proud of those high end speakers. They sound marvelously !

Safe to say these Focals are the airiest sounding speakers Ive ever heard on this channel and in real life.

I think Martin Logans shown on this channel give them a good run for their money.

Some say that you can't get a good representation because its KZread, but I say who cares, when the presentation is done like this, it is exquisite, the sax sounds amazing, love it when you go close to the speakers, I get a real sense of what's going on. Thank you Sound Sommelier.

Sie hören den Sound Ihres limitierten Lautsprechers / Kopfhörers You hear the sound of your limited loudspeaker / headphones PS: You can get the same YT sound for 500 Euros. The saxophone would sound like a 50,000 euro loudspeaker. Due to the limitations. Only at home, without YT limitations would you hear the differences.

People can trash these audiofile videos on KZread all they want, but there's no mistaking the "air" of that saxophone! Obviously a ton of factors are in play here, but the point I'm trying to make is the quality of sound and video of these are absolutely sublime. Very well done as usual, and thanks for sharing.

I feel like a damsel in distress in a black and white noir setting is required to listen to this song.

This is one of the very few reasons i still have youtube installed so thank you for sharing this little corner of heaven with us. You sir are making my friday afternoons better.

Earlier this year I had a rare (for me) opportunity to hear these bad boys in person. I still can't believe the sound. So rich and warm it remined me of swimming in the deepest, most beautiful body of water surrounded by great white sharks so mesmerized by the sound they didn't even notice me. What a moment to say the least. Yes, there are better or and different sounding speakers and these are in no way the overall best that I've heard, I'm simply describing the lasting impression I got from listening to these awesome speakers up close and personal with no interruptions or huge crowds. It was damn near perfect,, for me!

Wow interesting, never heard the Focal Scalas described as rich and warm. What gear was paired with it ?

@@sonicvisions6491 I agree, I'm still surprised over what I heard from those speakers and my response even today. I was not expecting that.. Maybe it was the music we were listening to (Dire Straits: You and Your Friend, Your Latest Trick) the set up or just me extremely excited to finally hear these in the manner I was afforded. If I recall these were paired with Bryston 28BssT2's.

Hell...the music is coming from 2' behind my crappy computer speakers and they disappear with this fantastic presentation it's that good. Well done again sir !

Delightful. Must be a lot of fun having that room and that range of equipment in your daily work place.

Holy moly! Such "airiness", yet without harshness! Great piano and articulate bass as well.

Bravo! Up close sounds like real life music to me, as a jazz musician myself. Very nice of you to do the complete song/vid.

Очень натурально. Спасибо.

This is just so beautiful !

I'll take that setup any day!!!

I so look forward to your beautifully recorded content. Thank you so much for the effort and quality.

Splendid, definitely a well matching of the components. Thank you sir as usual, well prepared! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Amazing!

Listening this on my MA Silver 300, sounds so good

Outstanding!!!

Thank you 🙏 for this once again beautiful presentation. One thing about Focal, they create a musical airy scene like very few others. My esteemed friend of very good music, you capture that scene. However, I'll be honest, I just don't like the look of these Focal Scala Utopia Evo speakers. I have a pair of B&W Diamond 804 D3 here. I know the Scala Utopia Evo are in a different league. My 804 D3s don't come close. Grazie ancora. Con tanti saluti musicali dalla città più a nord d'Italia.

NICE👍

sax sounds very real

Love the content even through the iPad. I would love to hear something a little different in a future video like Stevie Ray Vaughn Tin Pan Alley or a really good female vocal like Queen Latina’s remake of California Dreamin’ or maybe Euge Groove’s Get’em Goin’.

Amazing again. What album please.

Excellent, I love this easy jazz but wonder how they would resolve more complex music. Maybe record/playback various genres, rock, pop, modern jazz etc. How do they cope with strong bass for instance, does it overwhelm or is it in balance? Some youtube reviews playback the same pieces of music so people can make a comparison. Think your videos are great, some fabulous gear. It's likely viewers are trying to quantify a purchase by listening, so various types of music on the same system may help. Best regards

Few instruments=low complexity=more impressive sound=more sales. Like the branded demo videos for selling tv that are made to impress

Bellissimo brano…complimenti per il set up. Potrei sapere i cavi di potenza marca e modello? Grazie anticipatamente

Present sound with a big clear "body." In the room feling, and i a not even in that room.

Dynamics are off the scale.

To be fair you could wire up a cupla buckets on that system and it would sound good - I have the V1 of these (not sure which ones these are) running off a couple of Mark Levinson's 330's and they are the bomb - thinking of upgrading to the McIntosh - but because of a little thing called money I am not allowed to as apparently holidays are more important - my view is music is for life whereas a two week vacation is at it sounds - two weeks!!!!!!!

What microphone do you use?

I'd love to throw a cot in the corner and just live in this room.

@@tshaolin971 this channel use a kind of music that contains just a voice and very few instruments and is so easy to be played everywhere. Try to record normal music and your video will sounds like shit all distorted. This is why all the KZread videos with an hifi playng use this audiophile songs, because are so easy that neither your phone distorts

The Mac tube gear seems to thankfully tone down the brightness, but I still think the Sopra, Kanta, and Aria series' are better balanced

Good. Not as good as the B&W 8 series.

The sax piano missing bass sound bright no emotion from that song on

they don't sound bad but the monitor audio platinum ll are much more three-dimensional and enveloping in The sound stage the driver technology is much better especially that MPD tweeter way more three-dimensional open airy and natural sounding and faster as well.

Dude , you are such a MA troll on every video , you are killing the respect for this brand . You also seem to post the same comments on soundstage , 3d , etc . I love the platinum 300s I heard , but there are no absolutes in this hobby . Just preferences .
