Welcome back Mark, congratulations. Was it the same deal you'd asked about?

Mark,
Congratulations! Just had some neighbors over for the first time since getting our AF's installed tonight, and we had a lot of fun with the music - the wives even got into it a bit. Looking forward to the pictures!

Thank you, my friend.
They are spectacular and I know you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Congratulations. I share your admire for the SF AF
The Focal are very nice speakers too but the slightly "hard" top end made me go down the Sonus Faber track my self.
If some one else is in the same situation one way to go could be to try a different amp. The Krell + Focal combo can be a bit too much IMO. I imagine McIntosh, Audio Research or Gryphon could be a great amp with the Sopra No 2.
But that is just my personal opinion and it all comes down to "matching the gear 'til you like what you hear"
