Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2

From everyone who heard the Sopra at RMAF and didn't think they sounded good....they probably didn't sound anything like they should.
They were just shipped from France for the show and were new...with no break-in time.  Shame on Focal for showing a brand new pair of speakers.

I replaced a pair of 1028be2's with Sopra's in December.  They were really disappointing for the first few weeks until they had about 140hrs of continious play time.  Judging from my the time it took to break-in my 1028 speakers, it's gonna take around 400hrs before they show their magic.  Not sure what's going on during break-in, but someone suggested it's not just the drivers but also the capacitors they use in the X-Over that needs a long break-in period.

That is very true about preference for one brand's sound over another. 
There's no perfect speaker that suits everyones individual taste and their personal hearing acuity.  
Personally, I prefer a highly detailed sound that has a 3 dimensional soundstage with great imaging and lots of depth.  Also, dynamic range and the ability to convey a sense of weight and power in the bass is important.
