I have my eye on Sopra 3's. For you owners of 2's and 3's, do you think my 19 ft 8.5 inches x 15 ft 5 inches x 91.5 inches high room is too small for 3's? They are physically the same size as my Exotica III's with powered woofers which I have tamed with room treatments. Thanks in advance for any insights. |
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. |
Hello Fellow sopra 2 users! what speaker cable are you using with your sopra 2’s with good result? I’m using wireworld silver eclipse 7 with good results Hooked to ARC GS150. I reconfigured my system and need to changed wwse7 for longer run. I’m torn between getting a 6m speaker cable or a 6m xlr with a budget of 2-4k to feed my sopra 2. Any suggestions? |
@bugredmachine did you get the 3s? I've had Sopra 2s in my 21x14x10H room, and felt they didn't have enough bass compared to my Sasha 1s. I do have bass corner traps in the front. I'm now thinking of Sopra 3s... but concerned about bass. My room is 294sqft, but with high ceilings and on a cement slab... I think I can get away with the Sopra 3s... I had Alexia working well, but hearing all the bass issues in med-small rooms has me hesitating... Any adivce? |

jo1mtb I ended up with Sasha 1's. Last year I was nicely accommodated by Albert in is store where he brought in a brand new pair of Sopra 3's to compare side by side with Sasha 1's. This was the limit of my spending at the time.There was every paradigm that I would love and leave with the 3's in my head. It was no contest however. The Wilsons killed the Sopra's top to bottom. So yes, the Sopra's were brandy new and the Wilsons were well used and broken in. But the musicality and the bass response of the Wilsons was far superior to me and my wife. I left with the Wilson's and have been thrilled with their performance. I found them very easy to dial in and have a wonderful soundstage and more bass than I ever expected. Really the sound I have been wanting for years. So who knew? I am glad I had the chance to listen side by side (on both SS and hybrid amps). And thanks to Albert for being so helpful.They are in my virtual system. Room is 15.5x20x8. |
