Amp for Sopra No. 1


I have a pair of Sopra 1s coming from Focal in France. I'm familiar with their sound from hearing in local shops and on a buddy's system where he runs them with Mac monoblocks. I'm looking for a good solid-state match for these. Current amp is a Pass Labs which sounds fine, but I've been looking to move on to something a bit more oriented to rock, meaning a more solid low-end for one thing, some female vocals, along with almost anything else in lesser amounts except classical/opera. What have other Sopra owners found? Thanks.

A CODA #16 is what I have and would bring to life that Focal. It is a bass monster, and the first 100 watts are Class A. Super quiet too.

I also see my old KRELL 175XD listed for sale on TMR. That would also be great on the FOCAL. It is buttery smooth and powerful. Everything is in Class A, and it runs cool. It only scales up the Class A when it needs it.
