Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?


Have listened several times to Sopra 2's and while I do like them at times they come across a bit bright. Also bass was not as controlled as expected.  Don't know what was causing this but can this community give me other alternatives? They will be mated with SS gear for the time.

+1 on addressing your room first if needed. Give Rockport Atria ii speakers an audition. They are world class speakers. Good luck ! 

Probably not easy to find, but the new Borresen X3 is worth a listen. It's very clean sounding, but it is not bright and it is very dynamic.

2 channel listening? Or mixed use Home Theater? No subs? Sopra 3’s have the bass that one person mentioned missing with Sopra 2’s … 

I enjoy my Sopra 2's, lusted after them for years. I've considered selling as they just don't always suit me. Those that claimed they're bright should really treat their room and set the speakers up properly. They definitely started out bright, but after a few hundred hours so settle down and become more linear. Bass can be boomy so treat your corners and all is fine. I had Electra 1028be's as well and loved those speakers. Never should have sold them. Oh and the Sopra 2's are vastly overpriced now. They used to sell for $15k a few years ago and you could get a deal on them. Now they're +$20k and definitely have way less value. I'm looking elsewhere and checking into either the new YG series and possibly even testing out some of the Spendor A7's soon.
