Focal Sopra 2/3 vs Harbeth SHL5 Plus

Has anybody compared the Sopra 2 or 3 to the Harbeth SHL5 Plus? Which is a more involving speaker, not only being detailed, fast and dynamic but having the capability to portray voices and instruments in their truest timbre and tonality. The Harbeth is one of the most natural sounding speakers I have heard by far. Voices and sound of instruments sound just like the real thing through them. Once I switched to other speakers music didn’t sound as real. I was wondering if the Focal Sopras could match the Harbeth in the areas of tonality and timbre.

I presume the Focals do not sound as warm or lush as the Harbeth with their leaner presentation.

Just my two cents,
I have been through KEF LS50, Magnepan mg12, Magnepan 1.7 and now Harbeth SHL5 plus. I can say that my speaker hunt ends here with the Harbeth. I find it the most natural and rich sound, although The Maggies beats it with huge soundstage, the Harbeth still won my heart. I can listen to it for hours without fatigue. Hook it up with a tube amp and you wont regret.
