Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's


Just received my new Focal Sopra No2's (in black lacquer) a few days ago, probably half way thru the break in, these speakers amazed me when I auditioned them, even more amazing in my home.
These have exceptional clarity and detail!

I recently heard the Sopra 2 at a New York dealer.  He had them 3 feet from the back wall and away from the side walls.  Were driven by McIntosh equipment.  I loved the soundstage, but the bass was boomy.  I've read the Focal includes a bass plug to tailor the bass response.  Does anyone use it?  I really want to like the Sopra but if i can't get reasonably flat bass response I will look at other speakers.  thanks
Stevizzy,
You are right (and I am wrong)---Sopra 2 doesn't have foam plugs (only Sopra 1 does).  From what you wrote there is no issue with flabbly/boomy bass response given your setup (3 ft from front wall). That's great to hear.  I will go back to the dealer and listen again after they are better setup.  thanks.
