Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?

I really enjoy Focals mids and top end with above average recordings, but IDK if there's a less forgiving brand of bright recordings than anything made by focal, Triangle, Cabasse? Man those French really like detail. When you're shopping for speakers that cost as much as a sportbike or nice car get home demos with the components you plan on using. I could rattle off several other similar priced speakers with comparable quality, but putting a system together is personal.

Regarding the brightness of the tweeters;  how do they compare to the B&W 804 D3?  Considering going from the B&W to the Focal but if they are a lot brighter then I’ll keep the B&W.

How does the bass compare as well?

As much as I like Focal speakers they have priced themselves out of my budget. I still own a large floor standing pair of JM Lab 946 Electra though. But I have heard the Sopra 2 and the 3 and I would say they were some of the best speakers I have ever heard when set up properly. I have not found them to be overly bright but then that could have had a lot to do with room tuning and setup. A lot of HiFi dealers do not set up their equipment as good as it could be and when you hear the same speakers at a different dealer they will  usually sound better or worse. 

I love my Sopra 2’s. My highs became so much nicer after I put in a grounding box with outside grounding rod and added Audience Front Row loom....REL 212 SE’s have only helped bring them into focus. I do agree they require some extra work....however, I think they are very worth the effort...
