New Acquired Sopra 2

My only experience is with McIntosh.  I have an MA8900.  The newer models MA8950, MA9500 or MA12000 all have HT pass through and I think would sound fantastic with the Sopras and would certainly have the power to get the best out of them.

Nice speakers ! Congrats! 
 

love me some Focals. I would look for something warmish and full for amplification. My 836w speakers paired really well with tubes. Although they sounded great with everything else as well. I haven’t heard the Sopras so can’t really recommend anything. One of if not the best sounds I ever heard was a pair of Focal Utopia “post BE” not sure the model but they were really big. They were pushed by some huge McIntosh Monos. Jaw dropping! 

Two recommendations for Mcintosh. They certainly check the box for Home Theater bypass so I will look into their lineup. Thank you

we have found great synergy with a unison research  unico 150

it is a hybrid integrated 150 watt solid state power amplifier matched to a tube preamplifier stage,

the amplifier has a ton of omph, throws a huge soundstage is smooth and musical,

it has home theater pass through/
