Lots of discussion about the Sopra 2 on here but I dont see many actual user reviews/comments. Anybody who owns them care to comment on your satisfaction, partnering amplification, room size and suitability, etc. I will be attending AXPONA next month and hope to compare Sopra, Sabrina, Olympica3, and 803D3. Would love to get some actual user feedback on the Sopras, which seem to have rec'd rave reviews in the press.

Owned for 8-9 months.
Satisfaction still 10/10, using arc ref 5se, ATI 6003 in a 35 sq. meter room. I auditioned the Olympica 3's and the 802D2 when searching for speakers, and the Sopras did it for me. The only thing I will swap them for is SF Liliums or Aidas......one day |

I have been looking at the Sopra2's love the look.
Last night I went for my 2rd audition, and i decided that are not for me. for the cost, they did everything right, but they where a little to bright for me. I have been using B&W for the last 20 years, 9 years with the Diamond tweeter I think i'm going to have to take a listen to the B&W803D3. Brian |

To each his own, I dont find them bright in any way.
But there are 100 variables, most important ones own taste that matters. If you are a long time b&w fan surely the D3 series are a good hit |

Thanks for the input guys. Looking forward to hearing them in person. The common knock on Focals for those who dont like then is the brightness of the twweter. Supposedly they tamed it a bit on the Sopras. We shall see. A little scared that a B&W fan found them bright because B&Ws have always sounded pretty forward to me, hence my love of Sonus Faber's house sound. Cant wait to go to AXPONA and hear all this stuff for myself.

I've had a host of great speakers in my room over the last 5 years . B&W 802, Magico v2,EA Micro 1,Joesph Pulsar,Prespectives,Acoustic Zen Cresendo's and a few more and the Focal 2's are wonderful. I did add a REL sub

i have a REL sub as well, so glad to hear you like the Sopras. Would probably go for the black ones as you did too. Afraid the bright colors would be a bit much over time.
