I feel you have hit the nail on the characteristics of these speakers having owned both.
My view mirrors yours and find the mids up superior to the scala and the big sound staging. I did find however that the scala has a triat which gives a snappier hitting upper bass with the maestro more mellow. It could be room and positioning and Scala much easier in placment for it to show its fundamental sonic character. E.g the footer you recommend may have make a shockingly large difference/improvement.
Meastro on the other hand, imho may require much further tweaking in all areas and can attain a much higher sonic score but what seems any flaws in room, placement andassociated gear could make or break it.
