New Acquired Sopra 2


I've recently purchased a set of Sopra 2 to build a new system around. I currently have a Marantz preamp feeding into an Emotiva 2 channel amp. It is a 13 year old system and would like to know if any one could recommend a good integrated Amp with Home theater bypass as this will be used in my living area with TV and Rel subwoofer.

First, make sure the speakers are broken in first (at least 150 hours) so you know what they really sound like.  Then it really depends on what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for, so if you can share that you’ll get much better/more useful recommendations here.  Also, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used?

I haven't heard Focal with Mac. I brought home the Kanta 3's and used my hegel h360 to drive them and didn't care for the match at all. The Pathos logos mk 2 or Mac Ma352 would likely sound great with the Sopra.

I was in a similar situation several years ago with my Sopra 3s, needing an integrated that could work well with my HT system as well.   I went with a Octave Audio integrated with a super black box.   Really good synergy with focal in my opinion.  I’d check out their V80 SE. 
 

Good Luck!

I used a Modwright KWH-225i hybrid integrated with Sopra No 2's, had HT bypass standard. It sounded very good too.
