Vienna Liszt vs. Focal Sopra No2

Hi Guys!
Still looking for the ultimate speaker. My current speaker a very coherent, magical, but too polite Avalon Ascendant. I have to say, I prefer a bit of a warmth and softness, over ultra clear, razor sharp analytical sound.
Someone compared the Vienna Liszt of the Focal Sopra No.2 ? They are my short list. Unfortunately, my room is slightly small (16*10), it may be neither is my way.
Any thoughts, experiences on these speakers or possible alternatives? Thank you in advance.

Thanks! for sharing- ricred1


after reading so many glowing reviews of Aerial, when I finally got audition time, several times in fact, I could not get into the 6t nor 7t models.  Perhaps the 10/20t models are better?


My sessions were w/ ARC reference gear, Classe' and Mark Levinson.

Maybe the Rowland gear is this speakers' sonic match?

I have had several auditions w/ VA speakers w/ Primare, ARC and Rogue Audio gear and it has never disappointed! 


Focal is a little different- I have demo'ed 928, 937 and 1027Be models.

The Be tweeter can be forward in its natural presentation. Perhaps it can be toned down somewhat w/ tubed gear?
