I had a few drinks and bought some speakers


Last night as I was polishing off a few of Texas' finest Balcones Bourbon, I purchased a used pair of Focal Sopra 2's. I current own the Electra 1028's. Can anyone give me some opinions or thoughts of the speaker decision? These have been my end all be all speakers, but I have concerns my room might be a little small being 13x8. Any info is appreciated!

@tablejockey I was originally going to upgrade my Clearaudio Concept but it looks like I might have it for a few years now. I didn't even plan on how I'm going to get 125lb speakers upstairs by myself, c'est la vie. 

So the consensus is the Sopra 2 are a nice step up from 1028? The new price increase was severe and didn't think I'd ever get them. Guess we'll see how they sound in real life!
I appreciate all the advice and unregistered regret you all have imparted on me. My justification is I cant afford anything more expensive so I might as well max out on speakers! 

Also, American Whiskey fans, go pick up some Balcones. One of my favorites whiskey makers! Many different varieties for all taste buds. 
@mrklas last night was the Rye. Tonight is the Brimstone Whiskey and Texas Pot Still. The most interesting whiskies I've ever had for awesomely affordable pricing. 
@boxer12 I've got two Klipsch soundbars to listen to when I want real tube sound. These are just for my 2 A.M. low level listening of  Girls Gone Wild and the Shamwow infomercials. 
@rooze that's the only way to do it. That must be how you got your username. And freaking nice system. I love my P10!
@ejr1953 this will be my end all be all speakers. Even if they aren't in an idea room for a few years until the house hunting starts. 

@mrklas in my opinion you can't go wrong with anything Balcones. I've never been drawn to any whiskey as much as I am with their stuff. Baby Blue is amazing. Brimstone is fun like drinking campfire smoke. Rye 100 is dangerously fantastic. They are on my list to visit one of these days. 
@desktopguy you 100% nailed this. Buying speakers drunk or sober, the result is the same and the build up is the same. 

@nitewulf Brimstone is a fun whiskey ride. I have a bottle that I pull out when I want to feel like I'm sitting next to a fire while camping. Rye 100 is phenomenal and Baby Blue are on my rotation this week. A nice Glencairin glass to sip and listen to music is my life. Hopefully these Sopra's make that experience better!
