Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's

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.

I've had my Sopra No2's for about four months now.  After carefully breaking them in, I tried a few variations on their positioning and got them really "dialed in" to the room.  They just sound awesome!  They have great dynamics, incredible detail, great sound stage, and to me are very "musical".

My JL Audio F113 sub woofers arrived and I had a terrible time integrating them into my system.  The subs are just awesome, but I learned that my "man cave" acoustics, for that last octave of bass, is not.  So moving the subs around (not a trivial task for an old guy like me), and applying bass traps to some of the corners and walls, re-adjusting the subs, I finally have the sound where I want it.

To me the bass that the Sopra's produce is just excellent, but the last octave or so is not strong enough, hence the addition of the subs.

I really enjoy my setup, sound great at low, medium and (for me) somewhat louder volumes, with any kind of music I throw at them.

Really pleased with the Focals!

Hey Guys...anyone interested in starting a forum or similar to discuss setup with your Sopra's ?
I'm just starting to experiment with my pair. 
The new base is great for experimenting with room placement but I haven't decided where to bolt them down thru the carpet just yet. 
Stillpoints vs. Spikes???
any ideas???

The Sopra 2 has been reviewed and measured to have a mild mid bass lift, though it isn't enough to create a boom to the sound. This speaker is positioned in manner that its likely exciting a room node. So more work by that dealer would be needed to done. It can be done by ear and even better yet, a measurements microphone and REW.
