Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?

Just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be going in a week to listen again to JA Perspectives2. I've heard them many months ago and enjoyed them I should have bought some demos that were on several sites.

I have been hell bent on a pair of sopra 3s, But after listening to the  Sonus Faber Sarafinos and all of the SF line on "sound Sommelier" YT I think they are a better speaker than the focal.. and I think that's where I will put my money when I pull the trigger 

I’d be interested in your perspective on the, er, Perspectives.  Sorry.

Go with the astonishingly excellent, and wonderfully non-fatiguing Revel Salon 2 speakers.  They may end up being your last pair of speakers.  They're just that good!!!

Another +1 for room treatment. I had to move my Sopra 2s and system to a smaller room a few years ago and I first noticed the lack of bass but I struggled with soundstage and overall balance as well. It was very frustrating but once I introduced some homemade room treatment everything started to fall in place. I originally used a PremaLuna Dialogue integrated with very good results but it did lack some oomf when turning up the volume. I'm now using a Roger's KWM-88 (yes, another tube amp) and it's really amazing to my ears and audio friend (of course your MMV).

I have had times when the treble is too hot but I've found that for me there is something else going on up stream. Cartridge isn't adjusted properly, breaking in a new set of tubes, etc. I also just installed a set of Gaia's to the Sopra 2s and that further improved everything top to bottom to my ears (but I don't think they would do anything for hot treble).

There are a lot of great speakers out there, many mentioned about. Regardless of what you choose, definitely consider room treatment and experiment with speaker placement. It does take some time and effort but you'll get the most out of your investment. 

Good luck!!
