Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3?

cool_jeeves,
Interesting dilemma.  I have owned the No2's now for three years and have auditioned the No3's, and no matter what you decide, once you get these broken in, you will definitely enjoy your choice.
The only recommendation I'd have is to pair either of them with a smooth sounding amplifier.  That's what I have and I can listen for hours without fatigue.
Happy Listening!

@atekelidis8,

What is your opinion on Sopra 3 versus Scala V2?

Thank you!

After a few months I am in a position to update. The Sopra N3s filled my room with unbearable bass. I junked my Kimber TC12 and instead opted for Belden 8477 as the speaker cable. I switched out of my SME 3009 tonearm and went in for an SMEV with Belden 8402 tonearm lead. I went in for the relatively unsung Radio Shack interconnects. It is an unusual combination but has brought in a tonal balance in the system that sounds just correct (voices), all frequencies evenly emphasized, and strong but controlled bass, and significantly higher resolution. All in all, a very worthwhile upgrade.

I am amazed how people are surprised that the Sopra 3 outperforms the Sopra 2.  That is how Focal designed them to be.  Spend lots more and get some benefits in performance. Don't beat yourself up comparing the two speakers. 
Both 2 and 3 are superb speakers. 

I have listened to both extensively set up in the same system in the same room, one after the other. 
The 3 is the better speaker if the room is large enough. If the room is not large enough, the 3 is a worse speaker. It comes down to the low end. Sopras are low end heavy generally and the 3s truly bring the bass. I didn’t have enough room in my living room at the time and it was way too boomy, and I enjoy bass. It was too much. Rear ported so 3s are best when they can be brought far off the wall. 
So if you have a room that can absorb all that bass then get them. Otherwise go with the 2s, as I have, and enjoy. The 2s are some of the best speakers in the world.
