Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's

Jafant,

My system:
PS Audio P10 Power Plan
PS Audio DirectStream DAC
Autonomic MMS-5A Music Server (with all hi res AIFF files)
McIntosh C50 Preamp
McIntosh MC452 Power Amp
Wireworld Cabling
JL Audio F113V2 Sub Woofers (2)
Focal Sopra No2 Speakers
Sennheiser HD800 Headphones

I would say these Focal's may not be the ideal speaker for everyone. I suspect they might sound too harsh, with electronics that might bring out too much from those fantastic tweeters.

I found them to be the most sensitive and "accurate" in the mids and highs of any speaker I auditioned which I'd characterize as being of a "musical" design.

Really enjoying my new components!

You have put together a very nice system - congratulations! Do you have a large listening room? I only ask since when I auditioned the Sopra 2 speakers it was in a pretty large dealer listening room, and one of the most impressive aspects I heard was their bass extension and dynamics. So I'm surprised to see you running two JL f113 subs with them. Just curious as to your thoughts on the matter, of course they add weight and an additional room presence! Good listening - enjoy the tunes on your great system!

A very nice system, indeed. You guys give a shout-out to your dealers/retailers where you auditioned these speakers!

I have no local Focal representation in my area.
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Looks like Overture in Delaware has these speakers in their showroom for audition. Anyone else wish to mention their local Focal dealer/retailer?

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I heard the Sopra 2 speakers at Quintessence Audio in Morton Grove IL a couple of weeks ago. The day I was there they just received the Sopra 1 monitors which they were getting setup. From what I understand there are Sopra 3's coming around year end, with slightly larger woofers and cabinet size than the 2's expected to be around $20K.
