| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs Yep, I love the looks of the Sopra's but to me, sound isn't as good for classic rock and heavy vocal stuff as many other speakers and most much less costly. But these others don't look as good as the Sopra's:) | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Have had Tidal for years, got Qobuz also when Neil left Tidal, he has been back on Tidal but I kept Qobuz never thought about cancelling until now. Anyway, they both sound good, I feel Tidal sounds better for most recordings on my very revealing s... | |

| Sopra 2 Bass I love the look and sound of the Sopra 2's, I listen primarily Classic Rock on the loud side via C2600 MC275 X2 Turntable 80% stream 20% via Tidal HiRes 20' X 20' room. The one drawback to the Sopra's is missing hard hitting bass, Mid-Range Best i... |
