Great thread. I am in the horns of a dilemma. 1) I am getting a great deal on the Sopra N3s, not on the N2s. 2) my room is l shaped with the larger part of the room being 300sqft and the smaller part of the L not exactly being straightforward but having an effective area of 100sqft. The Sopra manual says that the N3 is fit for 350 to 700 sqft, and the N2 for upto 320sqft IIRC. should i go for the N3?
After a few months I am in a position to update. The Sopra N3s filled my room with unbearable bass. I junked my Kimber TC12 and instead opted for Belden 8477 as the speaker cable. I switched out of my SME 3009 tonearm and went in for an SMEV with Belden 8402 tonearm lead. I went in for the relatively unsung Radio Shack interconnects. It is an unusual combination but has brought in a tonal balance in the system that sounds just correct (voices), all frequencies evenly emphasized, and strong but controlled bass, and significantly higher resolution. All in all, a very worthwhile upgrade.
