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.
Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2
Have ordered a pair of Sopra 2 in white (interestingly, it is referred to as Stormtrooper by some users which l really agree) and a Esoteric N05. Due to space limitation, thinking of an integrated amp to complete the system and the shortlisted are:
Simaudio Moon 600i
Naim Supernait 2
Hegel
Any Sopra 2 owners (or potential owners) have comment?
Need to shop cables too but would leave this later.

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. |
