Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3

If you have compared these two, what differences do you hear? Strengths of each speaker? Amps used and type of music played.

Thanks,

Jeff

They have about 400hrs of play and have improved dramatically since new. Im using a Simaudio 700i amp to drive them with Discovery Essential & Essence Cables. These are really great speakers. The imaging and their 3D spacious sound stage is just magical. Vocals sound like they are in the room. Unreal !!!

It seems the Sopra 2's respond very well to integrateds that are more high level. I have the Hegel H300 and the Sopra's really respond well. Best my Hegel has ever sounded. I also have the Hegel 160 for my smaller system, going to try that with Sopra's tonight, bet it kills! I was concerned early on that there might be a systems match concern with the Sopra's (per some articles), the more I read, that doesn't seem to be the case. Really feel fortunate to own the Sopra 2's.

I have a pair of Pass Labs XA200.5 monos and Bob Carver Black Beauties that are 350 watts tube majic to power them. My question is would I be better with the Focal S2 since my amplifiers are maybe better suited to them over the Focal S3s? All my cables are Pangea for power and Kimber Kable Hero for interconnects. XP30 Pre and XP25 for Phono. Listen to all discs on my Oppo 105 and Vinyl on vintage modded turntables by Thorens and Garrard with SME 12 arms and Soundsmith modded Denon Dl-103R carts. Currently have vintage speakers JBL 4345 and JBL 250Ti. Appreciate thoughts and advice all. Kansas City, Mo..
