Although you may not like this option, you can consider the PS Audio BHK 250 or a pair of BHK 300 monoblocks. I have Focal speakers and it is a great match. These amps have a tube input stage which pairs well with the Focal tweeter, plus you can tube roll to tailor the sound. Both are under budget and repairs are available in the US if needed.
Amp For Sopras
I’ve been running a Bryston Cubed amp with my Sopra 1s for a while, but it’s time to move to an amp that downplays the occasional Sopra brightness. Preamp is a Spatial Audio Raven. Audience speaker cables. Budget up to about $10k. Solid state preferred but I might consider something mildly-tubed if there’s such a thing. Pass Labs and the new AR S-100 come to mind. Mac and big heavy amps do not. I prefer a decent amount of resolution. New over used in most cases. What else works well with these speakers?
