Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's

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.

cool system !

Glad to hear you are enjoying them. Mine are coming in sometime in November.

Bill_k,

The room is 26'x26', with a 10'x10' alcove, wall to wall carpeting, very little glass.

I moved my system down from the (much smaller) living room to the "man cave" and found my old Velodyne Optimum 10 sub woofer just could not fill the new room. Some of my audio buddies let me know of the advantages of a pair of subs, heard the F113's at a buddies "man cave" and was just blown away! A pair of those might be "overkill", but with all my new toys, didn't want any of my new components to "run out of gas".

I think I'm "done" with hardware purchases for a while.

Cdj123,

I ordered mine just after they started to ship to the U.S., glad I did, as my dealer says the wait for them is up to six months!

I took his advice and slowly broke them in, not pumping more than a watt or so into them for the first 100 or so hours.

They just plain sound awesome! Enjoy!
