I have been meaning to join this thread for the longest time...
Starting in the early 70’s with:
Wharfedale E70
Celestion Ditton 25
Rogers LS 5/8
TDL Monitors (4way transmission line)
ProAc Studio Tower
KEF Q7
KEF Reference 203
ProAc D40
Focal Utopia III Scala V1
And End game- Focal Utopia Evo Scala.
A real journey, working in TV and constant exposure to live music made the need for speaker that could make a drum kit appear in my lounge high on my requirement list. The Scala’s do that while fitting in seamlessly with the room both visually and more importantly sonically. I think the large downward and forward firing port for the excellent bass driver has a lot to do with it. Something I discovered with the similar set up on the ProAc D40, which was downward but sideways firing. The beautiful walnut finish of the KEF Ref 203 made decide on the Noyer Fonce finish for the Evo Scala’s
