Recommended Power Amps For Focal Sopra 2 Towers. $10K Budget. GO


Hi Everyone!  I was lucky enough to recently purchase a brand new set of Focal Sopra 2's in Light Oak. My next upgrade will likely be new power amps. Please see below, i'd love to hear some of your thoughts!

1. I listen to   60% Music / 40% Home Theater 

2. Current setup is: Processor= Anthem AVM-60 Power Amps= Emotiva Gen 1 XPA-1 Monoblocks X 3

3. $10-12K budget (new or used) Give or take.

4. I'm coming from a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 V.3's that I have enjoyed for roughly 10 years now. 

5. I want to make sure these SOPRAs get the proper amount of power. I do not want to feel as if I chose a under powered amp as I sometimes like to listen quite loud.

* The Sopras are currently sitting in my office waiting for my custom entertainment system to be built, so I have not heard them hooked up to my current Emotiva Monoblocks as of yet, i'm just assuming this class of speaker should likely be powered by a different class of amplifiers? Thoughts?

 

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks All!

StormAudio PA 8 or 16 channels. 2channels bridged 800 w in 8 ohm. Incredible driving for any speakers. End of the game amp.

I owned the Sopra 3s and absolutely loved them with the Octave v80se integrated with the super black box.  Matched well with the focal beryllium tweeter.
