Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's

bump.

Any update on how your No. 2's sound? Still loving them?

Anyone have Sopra No. 1's? I am thinking about a pair.

Good to hear you like them, I alway liked the 1038Be and I am sure these are better. The Sopra 2s are on my list of speakers to hear. Do you use an active crossover? If not it would make a huge difference.

I have had a pair of JL E112s in my system for about two years (pre-ordered them) and run the internal active crossovers. It makes all the difference in the world and lets you cross-over higher (60hz-ish worked best for me)

I am looking at the Sopra 2 but am leaning toward the Magico S1 or Vivid B1 (with duel subs). Have you heard either of those speakers before?

I recently heard Sopra 2's and frankly was disappointed, but I suspect it may have been the set up

Bass was annoyingly boomy-

Comments from Sopra 2 owners?

Just picked up my walnut Sopra 2's from Overture Audio in Delaware today. They're very nicely built compared to my 1028be. The method for coupling the speaker to the floor is infinitely better than the Electra series, especially on my carpeting. 
Not going to comment yet on the sound yet because they are still really tight right now and haven't developed the air and transparency I know they've got.  My 1028's totally disappeared in my room after they broke-in but these Sopra's need some time. 
Focal says to play them continuously for at least 20 hrs before making any effort to position them properly in your listening room. 
They sure are pretty to look at. 

Thanks Santa 😀

From above, set-up and room tuning is paramount during a demo.
Most dealers/retailers do not get this aspect correct.
