I haven't listened to the Focal Sopra No. 1 but recently changed out Dynaudio Contour 20's to Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO's and am very happy with them. Huge improvement in a challenging room. I use them with two Scan-Speak 32W/4878T Revelator 13" Subwoofer’s. I use a preamp for 2.2-channel and share the FL/FR mains, Subs and external amps via Home Theater Bypass to an AVR for TV.
I have a couple other rooms in the house I make the choices in but the Family Room is a compromise as decor is as important a hobby to her as stereo is to me. Her asks were hide the components and as many wires as possible, no tower speakers, and black in color. We are both very happy with the choice. 2-channel is the priority but I am hoping to modify a Viva Utopia stand to use as a center channel stand for my 3rd Diablo.
