Enthusiast's Review A/B Focal Sopra 2 and Electra 1028be (II)
Thanks for the replies and support.  Correct, this is just my experience, preference, and opinion. Any other opinion is equally valid.  I thought I'd post just in case others don't have the luxury of A/B long-listening session with these.
