Focal sopra 3 better than scala utopia v2 I heard.


I heard from a Focal dealer the reason the Scala V2 was replaced with the new Scala evo V3 was because the Sopra 3 was better than the V2. I’ve also seen a few new V2’s now being sold for $19999. Sopra 3 retail price. Any thoughts on this I’m looking to purchase a pr of S3’s.

I’ve gone from Wilson Audio Sasha (v1) to Sopra 2 and I must say I’m impressed.  The imaging, and depth of the stage, clarity and speaker disappearing are better than the Sashas in my 14 by 21 by 10 room w bass and first reflection treatments and driven by my ARC ref 75 amp and ref 3 pre. (I tried w the 150se, both, and preferred the 75 w kt150s.). However, I do feel the sounds is slightly less warm (a bit more silver than gold illumination) than the Sashas, and the bass is not as deep, dynamic, or textured w the Sopra 2.  I’m wondering how the Sopras compare to the Scala V2 in the areas above and any other further insights. Thanks!
I would love to hear other/more thoughts on the Sopra 3.
I ended up selling my entire audio room, and now rebuilding and torn between getting some Sopra 3s or another pair of Sahsa 1s. We love the Sasha, and love the Scala. We thought the Sopra 2s were great but not enough bass/air moving. I can’t swing the Scala Evo, and it seems Scala v2s are a rare thing on a-gon.
Any thoughts?
