Mark - Congrats, the Sopra 2 are quite an impressive sounding speaker! If I may ask what electronics will you be driving them with?

Looking forward to your impressions once you have some time with them. They are excellent speakers that perform beyond their price point.

I have a Krell Evolution 302e amp and an Acoustic Research LS17se tube pre amp.
I auditioned them matched to a pair of Jeff Rowland amps.

I was completely blown away by the DEEP soundstage , crystal clear mids and highs and tight bass.

Thanks very much Buddy. Totally agree that they perform way above their price point.

I will definitely post my review as soon as they are broken in and dialed to my room.

How long did you break them in for before you did some critical listening?
Did you toe them in?
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
