Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's

Hi John,

I love the detail / imaging of the Focal Sopra 2's. I'm currently Swapping out my Sapphires with my older Dynaudio Contour 3.3's (love these!) in my system but got "The Itch" again and I was really impressed with the Focal's. Will sell at least 1 pr. of my 3 Dynaudio sets (also have Audience 82's in my Family room H/T) to help $$$ with this new purchase. You know how this hobby goes...always something!!!

Thanks for your input.
Paul.

I've heard the Sapphires twice at different times with different gear at a dealers showroom.  While they were nice, but both times they failed to invoke an emotional connection. The associated gear was top notch I.E. Boulder, PS Audio, Clayton Audio ETC. Toe tapping was good but they just fell short of taking you "there". This is my personal experience and I'm sure yours will vary with room/equipment interfaces.
I have not heard the Sopra's but as has been said they are currently getting a lot of love on the audio sites.

Paul,

I certainly know how how our hobby goes... always something!

I look forward to hearing your impression of the Sopra 2's.

Best wishes,

John

IME, Dynaudio is okay at best. Most models are over-priced compared to other speakers. Go with the Focal!
