Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2

Taking more than 2 months, my no2 has arrived. They are beautiful and perfectly fit my living room.

Finally I have Naim 272 and 250DR for their simplicity- 2 boxes only.  I also have set up a NAS for the system.  I know myself that I would seldom play discs when I have a steamer.  So far this is proved correct.  

Sound is is very good and has had met my expectations.  Lovely high (slight too much) and lots of bass (a bit too much and I did some tuning to control it).  Vocal is superb. 

I then have the Naim speaker cables to replace my aged MF.  

Currently doing other tuning like power cords and line filters.  

Sim700 was on my top lists but advices about reselling value in my area stopped me.  

Hi all, interested as well as I recently took the plunge and aquired a pair of Sopra 3s. I currently have  hegel H30 dac and anzus carbon speaker cables. The system sounds powerful and dynamic and very listenable with smooth vocals. Moving stillpoints around under different gear (or repositioning) makes a noticable difference to the sound as well. In any case I'm curious what amplifier others have found pairs the best with the Sopra. Thanks!

Lyngdorf TDIA 2170. Best thing I’ve ever heard. Makes my old setup sound broken, although a lot of that is the room correction and my crappy room. Or if you need more power the 3400. 

Focal loves Devialet - if you've the budget the D400/D440 is the sweet spot.  You wont find better without spending $$$
Go with good cables - copper.  You'll want something full bodied without giving up the resolution.  Try the new Lessloss C-Marc speaker cables.

I was lucky enough to get a pair from one of the first shipments of Sopra No2's to the U.S., now enjoying them for over 2 1/2 years.

I drive them with a McIntosh tube preamp and McIntosh MC452 power amp.  I have them in a 24x26' room and when I'm really cranking it, the needles on the power amp dance around the 4.5 watt mark.

The Sopra's are quite efficient, so I'd chose a "warm sounding" amp, modest power output would likely be OK, unless you listen in a really large room, at high volumes.

I have heard the Sopra's driven by what I'd call a "fast sounding" amp, and didn't like them so much.

BTW, please be patient as you break these speakers in.  I found they really "settled in" in about six months.
