Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?


Have listened several times to Sopra 2's and while I do like them at times they come across a bit bright. Also bass was not as controlled as expected.  Don't know what was causing this but can this community give me other alternatives? They will be mated with SS gear for the time.

I have Sopra 2s and absolutely love them. Bass is tight and lighting fast, mids are natural and highs sparkle.

Needless to say, opinions are just that.

50% of what you are hearing is reflective sound - if the room is not treated your are making the sound worse. If the speakers are placed incorrectly, room modes will destroy any detail in the bottom end. 

It's like drinking a great wine out of a dixie cup - will taste bad every time. Put it in an appropriate glass, and you get everything the wine maker was intending.

If you are willing to spend that amount of $ for Spora 2, give the Legacy Audio Focus XD or SE (With XD upgraded midrange drivers a listen.

+1 on addressing your room first if needed. Give Rockport Atria ii speakers an audition. They are world class speakers. Good luck ! 

Probably not easy to find, but the new Borresen X3 is worth a listen. It's very clean sounding, but it is not bright and it is very dynamic.

2 channel listening? Or mixed use Home Theater? No subs? Sopra 3’s have the bass that one person mentioned missing with Sopra 2’s …
