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!

I have my eye on Sopra 3's. For you owners of 2's and 3's, do you think my 19 ft 8.5 inches x 15 ft 5 inches x 91.5 inches high room is too small for 3's? They are physically the same size as my Exotica III's with powered woofers which I have tamed with room treatments.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

I ended up with Sasha 1's. Last year I was nicely accommodated by Albert in is store where he brought in a brand new pair of Sopra 3's to compare side by side with Sasha 1's. This was the limit of my spending at the time.There was every paradigm that I would love and leave with the 3's in my head. It was no contest however. The Wilsons killed the Sopra's top to bottom. So yes, the Sopra's were brandy new and the Wilsons were well used and broken in. But the musicality and the bass response of the Wilsons was far superior to me and my wife. I left with the Wilson's and have been thrilled with their performance. I found them very easy to dial in and have a wonderful soundstage and more bass than I ever expected. Really the sound I have been wanting for years.
So who knew? I am glad I had the chance to listen side by side (on both SS and hybrid amps). And thanks to Albert for being so helpful.They are in my virtual system. Room is 15.5x20x8.
