I´ve had Focal Utopia Micro with mye Devialet D200 for some years and just bought a used Magico S1 (first modell). The Focal sounded neutral with a touch of warmth. With Magico it's purely neutral. In fact extremely neural. On the limit to cold and forward.
I´ve realised that many recordings sound better with some warmth and some forgiveness. Which speakers do sound more relaxed without loosing too much details and transparens? And have enough punch. I know I have to loose some of the great details of S1.
