Appreciate any input from Focal Sopra No. 2 owners on what they are using for front end source, I have a Hegel 300. Been reading the speakers can be sensitive to front end source. Thanks in advance.
I'm using a Simaudio Moon 700i with my Sopra 2's. I've heard these speakers with Naim, McIntosh and Hegel amps and I like the smooth musical sound of the 700i best. Naim was my least favorite.
I would expect whatever Dealer you choose should offer a modest (10%) discount provided you've got a good relationship with them on past purchases. These speakers are HOT right now and selling quite well so don't expect huge discounts this soon. There is a used pair in black on AG right now for a great price. The owner is selling them to purchase the Sopra 3.
I bought a slightly used pair, mint with only 20 hours on them. Got them at over 40% below retail. They arrived in mint condition and couldn't be happier. I have been watching the current one's on AG, he had to relist them after 30 days. He hasn't hit the right price yet I guess.
Maybe all our praise on the speakers will push someone to pull the trigger.
