Guys not to hijack your thread but how would you describe the sound of the Sopra 2? From what I am reading and hearing the Focals can be very "detailed" and extremely sensitive to upstream electronics.
Focal Sopra 2
I just posted a review of the Focal Sopra 2 and my speaker journey.
A little sample.

A little sample.
"First listen and I was smiling. The same beautiful sound that I heard in the large showroom was present in my home! And I only had to turn the preamp volume half as high as I had to with the Bob Carver Amazing Line Source speakers. The sound quality was there from the lowest bass to the upper treble. Nothing stood out, or faltered, the sound just blended together as one cohesive sound that is so easy to listen to for hours and hours. Also, I think the speaker style is cool and the speakers finish is impeccable."
Full review below is in the Audiogon Member Review section.

winsome993, I have not tried tilting the speaker upward but, with the Iso Acoustic Gaii 1 footers they do raise the speaker a little higher than the included footers. samzx12, Perhaps the lower or older model Focal’s could be considered brighter sounding, but I would definitely not describe the Sopra 2’s that way, and I am using pure solid silver speaker wire. ozzy |
