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.

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.

What’s your budget ? You have the excellent Aesthetix Mimas retail around $8k which has a Tube for preamp section 

Coda integrated very good Mike Audio Archon $7k range 

or Krell 300 integrated retail before discounts Anthony At Perrotta audio Consultants.

all are before discount your speakers need a lot of current 

 

Pass Int250, Coda CSiB. Careful with components and cables that are known to be on the brighter side.
