I had a few drinks and bought some speakers

Last night as I was polishing off a few of Texas' finest Balcones Bourbon, I purchased a used pair of Focal Sopra 2's. I current own the Electra 1028's. Can anyone give me some opinions or thoughts of the speaker decision? These have been my end all be all speakers, but I have concerns my room might be a little small being 13x8. Any info is appreciated!

Years ago, I bought a pair of Magnepan lll’s.  When I got them home, the irate wife asked, “What did you pay for those, $1,000?”
My response: “How did you know?”  She never found out the actual price.

@jrosemd ...but did she like them eventually? 

Or merely retaliate in some $ fashion? ;)  Or...?

They are a great sounding speaker, and IMO a nice upgrade.  The speakers have a wonderful clarity, and are not bright sounding.  They do okay close to to the wall, so smaller rooms can be okay.  I am just not sure how small.  They also do well at low volume, albeit with the right electronics.  Hope you enjoy them.
