Focal Sopra 2

I just posted a review of the Focal Sopra 2 and my speaker journey.

A little sample.

"First listen and I was smiling. The same beautiful sound that I heard in the large showroom was present in my home! And I only had to turn the preamp volume half as high as I had to with the Bob Carver Amazing Line Source speakers. The sound quality was there from the lowest bass to the upper treble. Nothing stood out, or faltered, the sound just blended together as one cohesive sound that is so easy to listen to for hours and hours. Also, I think the speaker style is cool and the speakers finish is impeccable."

Full review below is in the Audiogon Member Review section.

Just to add my input on this one.
I am currently running Sopra 2 with PassLab INT-250. 
Fantastic sound!
About to upgrade interconnects with Cerious Graphene Extreme between NDX2 and INT-250.
Still undecided for Speaker cable upgrade.
Cerious Matrix or Extreme tempting but will probably consider trying some Mogami 3104 to start with. Read good reviews. Curious to see how those "entry price" cables perform.....

smodtactile,
The Sopras have the port in the front bottom of the cabinet so it would probably be fine for your size room.

audiosgp,
If you are like me sooner or later you will get the upgrade bug and end up getting the Matrix cables anyway. So, to save money overall you would be better off just buying the Matrix cables now. 
There really is a big difference between the Matrix and the original.

@ozzy ... Done. I jumped in.. Order placed for a set of Cerious Matrix Speaker Cables....
i guess it's going to take a while to get them delivered as they seem super busy. 
Will update you after I have enjoyed them for a while.
(by the way how long is the typical "burn-in" from your experience?)

audiosgp1,
I know it took a while for my last order too.

The cables break in fairly quick but give them a week anyway. 
In addition, when you move the cables it takes a while to resettle. (Up to 24 hours)
Hope you enjoy them.

Just a quick update. Received my Graphene Matrix Speaker cables about 2 months ago. The minute they were connected i knew that was the right decision. Superb.
