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!
