Focal Sopra 3 vs Wilson Audio Sasha W/P (series 1)

I have Wilson Audio Sasha 1s.  I'm considering Focal Sopra 3.  
I have ARC Ref seperates and Transparent Ultra cables. 
Room is 14x21x10' (speakers on 14' wall)
I like to change and experiment with new gear quite often, but what would I likely be gaining?  What might I be giving up?  
Thanks!

Okay. So I’ve decided on the Sopra 3, and have listed my ARC gear. 
Anyone have more thoughts on gear (not Naim) that mates well?
 Thanks!

Well I am using the Bob Carver 350 mono blocks with my Sopra 2's.

@ozzy  Wow!  That's some big Ws. 
Anyone use Pass Labs or SimAudio Moon?
I would think they would be a good matches...?

My BAT VK-600se is awesome with my Wilson Sasha 1's and I expect it would be with the Focal also. It has seemingly unlimited power and drive that is shocking with a speaker that has the Sasha low wnd extension and dynamics.

Good Luck!

Sopra 3s are to be delivered today, but I'm not sure what good a comparison would be at this point.  I've completely changed my system. 
Moon by Simaudio 600i
Shunyata Cables 
Lumin T1 (only constant)

I was offered a tremendous deal on the Sopra 3s, so I decided it was a great chance to get off the Wilson + ARC + Transparent Audio train. I'm hopeful about Sopra + Simaudio, but my history would tell me it's a (brief) stop before getting back aboard the train. 

Some of you know the drill; you can't un-hear what you've heard in your room.  For me that high-water mark is Alexia (1) + ARC Ref 5SE + ARC Ref75 + Transparent Ultra... Anything less in those brands, has just been a tease.  

Here's to hoping!
