Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's


Just received my new Focal Sopra No2's (in black lacquer) a few days ago, probably half way thru the break in, these speakers amazed me when I auditioned them, even more amazing in my home.
These have exceptional clarity and detail!

Congrats on your new Sopra speakers! I auditioned them and found them to have a very impressive sound, with great dynamics, imaging, and detail. Definitely a great buy, although they may not be for everyone (what speakers are?) I prefer a speaker with a more laid back perspective like the Sonus fabers, but can easily see how others may prefer the Sopra'a immediacy. System matching is also critical. Enjoy the tunes!
You have put together a very nice system - congratulations! Do you have a large listening room? I only ask since when I auditioned the Sopra 2 speakers it was in a pretty large dealer listening room, and one of the most impressive aspects I heard was their bass extension and dynamics. So I'm surprised to see you running two JL f113 subs with them. Just curious as to your thoughts on the matter, of course they add weight and an additional room presence! Good listening - enjoy the tunes on your great system!
I heard the Sopra 2 speakers at Quintessence Audio in Morton Grove IL a couple of weeks ago. The day I was there they just received the Sopra 1 monitors which they were getting setup. From what I understand there are Sopra 3's coming around year end, with slightly larger woofers and cabinet size than the 2's expected to be around $20K.
