Focal Sopra 2/3 vs Harbeth SHL5 Plus

Has anybody compared the Sopra 2 or 3 to the Harbeth SHL5 Plus? Which is a more involving speaker, not only being detailed, fast and dynamic but having the capability to portray voices and instruments in their truest timbre and tonality. The Harbeth is one of the most natural sounding speakers I have heard by far. Voices and sound of instruments sound just like the real thing through them. Once I switched to other speakers music didn’t sound as real. I was wondering if the Focal Sopras could match the Harbeth in the areas of tonality and timbre.

I presume the Focals do not sound as warm or lush as the Harbeth with their leaner presentation.

The Sopras don't have the same "British Monitor" sound of Harbeth. 
Listen to both before you decide which one suits your taste, music genre and electronics. 
If detail, sound-staging and the "musician in the room" factor are your thing, the Sopras excel in those areas. They require excellent quality electronics to show what they do best.
