I'm driving my Sopra 3s with an LS28SE, also a 462. I did an extensive direct comparison between the 28 and a C2700. It was very very close, they both sounded great the 28 sounded a little bit airier and more holographic. Mac was a tad more musical and warm, it was a very tough decision. I love my system currently, no mismatch that I can detect, and it's legitimately the best my system has ever sounded, if not the best system I've ever heard to my ears to date including auditioning in dealers. I think you'd love it. Keep in mind you could consider the LS28SE as well, it's more than capable and it's no chump at $10k.
