The Sopra no3 is really close to the V2. I "might" even give the edge to the Sopra in the mids and highs, as they are not at all strident. The V2 has much more bass, and control, at least in the system that I heard them in.

The Scala Evo is CRAZY better than both, IMO.

well I odered a new set of Scala V2 and both Sopra 3 and Scalas were voiced with my Naim NAP 500DR at Focal and the price difference for the Evo’s I would of got the Maestro III but no more stock.

That's consistent with every comment I've seen comparing the Scala versus the Sopra. Enjoy.

I'm curious to know in what areas the Scalas are superior to the Sopra 3's. I love my Sopra 3's, but I'm always interested in possible upgrade paths for the future.

Default I agree with your observations

I am trying to optimally match my Scala v2 with electronics. Candidates:

- Esoteric C03 + A03 + K01

- Leben 600cs

- Audia Flight Strumento No1/No4

- Naim?

- Vitus SS-010

...


How would C03/A03 match with Scala? The room is 13' x 25'. I am currently using Fatman Carbon 25W amplifier and it is a lot of juice for my ears. I like to listen orchestral, but also piano solo, modern jazz

I just heard Naim NAP 300 with N272. The sound was sublime.
