Focal Sopra 2

I just posted a review of the Focal Sopra 2 and my speaker journey.

A little sample.

"First listen and I was smiling. The same beautiful sound that I heard in the large showroom was present in my home! And I only had to turn the preamp volume half as high as I had to with the Bob Carver Amazing Line Source speakers. The sound quality was there from the lowest bass to the upper treble. Nothing stood out, or faltered, the sound just blended together as one cohesive sound that is so easy to listen to for hours and hours. Also, I think the speaker style is cool and the speakers finish is impeccable."

Full review below is in the Audiogon Member Review section.

Just a quick update. Received my Graphene Matrix Speaker cables about 2 months ago. The minute they were connected i knew that was the right decision. Superb.

Hello folks,
i just returned my recently purchased Focal Aria 936s and went straight to the Sopra 2s in the dogato walnut finish. Up until a few weeks ago, I had dismissed the Sopras as unobtainium. And here we are and it’s a little bit unreal. The sopras are hooked up to a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated with Triode Wire Lab American speaker cables. My local dealer Houston Audio (awesome by the way) reckons they have around 20 hours on them. I’ve read about the long break-in process but wanted to find out if we are talking several hundreds of hours here.

I bought mine used so I don’t know how long it takes to break in.
But a couple hundred hours sounds right to me.

Thank you Ozzy. Fantastic read on your speaker journey leading up to the Sopras. I am considering the Iso Gaia 1s for the Sopras on my hardwood flooring.
