Maestro Evo
has anyone seen / heard the new Maestro Evo's?
http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/156..._1024x1024.jpg The new Evos are new a 3-way which should make them somewhat easier to drive. Improvements to the drivers and internal damping as well. Also now bi-wireable. |
That's the first Evo color scheme that looks good that I've seen to date, thanks for the pic. The matte black accents and chrome tweeter cover look like ass with other colors imo.
I'll be surprised if you get a lot of replies given that as long as you have the amp current into 2ohms the Evo is a downgrade from the 3 1/2 way Utopia so existing owners of the Utopia aren't rushing to change, the price hike is beginning to creep into range of the Stella but without EM woofer, and unlike Wilson who killed it with their Alexia V1 to V2 upgrade plan Focal expects existing Utopia owners to take a bath to upgrade to Evo. |
I agree with Bar81 the evo’s look like shit even with the tweeter grill removed

Hmmmm, beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose :music:
The green and grey don't excite me, but I don't think the blue looks like 'ass' https://www.sempre-audio.at/Bilder/F...pia-Evo-11.jpg The white could be nice in the right setting too http://www.stereolifemagazine.com/im...IIEvoBooks.jpg If I get these, it would likely be in black. I do agree the new tweeter cover is not as nice as the old -- I wonder if it is removable. More important, I think, is how they sound. I did find this: Quote:

I imagine would be a huge step up from my scalas, I may find out soon... :D:D |

The reviewer of Hifi Critic (English magazine without commercial revenue) preferred them over his own B&W 800D3s...

It's not a magnet.

it's removable 1.5mm hex comes off just like the Sopra...KJ West One in London has a few pics of the tweeter grills removed on a pair of Scala EVO's. the Sopra's and the Evo's were designed by a German woman to look more masculine hence the matte finished accents, now if Focal offers custom finishes like the Scala V2 I'd have the tweeter box painted gloss black and the plinth
