daj2832Great speaker but needs an equally great amp that can do current down to 2ohms. Being 90db efficient they don’t need a lot of watts 120w at 8ohms will do. But they need to almost double that for each halving of impedance 4ohms the 2ohms if you want the amp to get the most out of them with out any strain, especially in the bass 60hz to 120hz.
Integrated Amplifier for Focal Sopra 3
Stereophile:
Sopra No.3 is a difficult load for an amplifier to drive, with a minimum magnitude of 2.75 ohms at 96Hz and a combination of 4 ohms and a –56° electrical phase angle at 68Hz, both frequencies where music can have high levels of energy

I think I need a lot of power/current to drive these speakers.Correct and nothing does current better than a linear Bi-Polar (BJT) output stage solid state amp done right.
Suggest a Gryphon Diablo 120 or 300 integrated.
