| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 I have been interested in the Simaudio 700i, a friend of mine has the 600i and it sounds very good with his set up. It seems the Sopra 2's respond very well to integrateds that are more high level. I have the Hegel H300 and the Sopra's really resp... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 I had Class D for about 6 months (Bel Canto), liked initially but just couldn't connect over time. Class D is more clinical to me and less musical. I wouldn't say it lowered the quality just different and less favorable to me. Some love Class D.Ag... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 I listened to the Magico S3's with a Class D Front end for a good hour or so, was very nice. I liked the Sopra's much better with my Hegel H300, they dig deeper and sounded more musical to me. The Sopra's were better priced also. Have had them a f... | |
| best integrated amp. I believe the Sonneteer is an Amp and not an integrated amp. However does look interesting and made to order, based on web site. | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 I did compare the FS 2 against the Wilson Sabrina. Bought the FS2, tested with a Hegel H300 and Electrocompaniet CD player, the FS2 did everything a bit better and cost less. The FS2 is everything the reviews report. Works great for me, but not ev... | |
| best integrated amp. My Hegel is full and sounds alive. Speakers make a big difference on conveying how an amp sounds!!!No blanket statements here. Proper matching is critical. | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy Hegel H300 has a DF of 1,000. The new H360 is a DF of 4,000, Hegel advertises this hard in their literature and discussions, seems very important to them and I do love their top integrated units. | |
| best integrated amp. Agree with the Hegel H300, have had mine for 2 years and it steps up to new levels depending on the speakers. I just demoed with Sopra No.2 and its the best the Hegel ever sounded. I like an Integrated that has the next gear when required. I suppo... | |
| Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's I just ordered a pair should have in a week, went with Black. Color is so subjective. Liked them all but Black and White were most available.Spent a lot of time with the speakers at the AXPONA show and a 2 hour demo with my Hegel H300. I did demo ... | |
| need your advice on speakers and CD players I listened to both of the speakers you note, this weekend, at the AXPONA show. While both were very good I favored the Dynaudio. Plenty of bottom with great sound staging and depth, the speakers were about 2 feet from the front wall, in a challeng... | |
| Amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars JA used Rowland front end at the AXPONS show last weekend, sounded very good. | |
| Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's This weekend the AXPONA show had 2 rooms with Sopra No. 2 speakers. Both sounded excellent. One had Pass Labs (Amps and Pre, very expensive) in the front and the other had a 100W Micromega 1Integrated retail $3500. Both rooms were getting a lot of... | |
| Integrated recommendation help rbstehno, what DAC are you using with the H300, I haven't considered that, figuring the H300 DAC was a very good one, how would you describe the improvement? Is it an easy hook up? Thanks. | |
| Hegel H300 and B&W 803 Diamond Have you done anything further? I have a H300 and would be interested on your findings. I demoed my H300 with the new Sopra No.2 speakers and the bass was tuneful and very full, no issues with the Focal's. | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si I have the RM25XLM2.Had Bel Canto for a while, nice sound, went to Hegel, killer sound. Hegel matched really well with the JA speakers. Many used Hegel H70 and H80 for sale at good prices here. |
