| Best used speakers under $10000 @mardukk24, I listen to mostly vinyl now, but occasionally stream on Cocktail Audio X40, has reference Dac built in. Tidal sounds great on the X40 and you can burn CDs into it. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Seems like lots of front end variables when judging and ranking numerous speakers. My Sopra 2’s sounded great with Hegel and Mastersound. With Simaudio 700i, absolutely amazing. On my search, changes in front end (as noted above) while only using ... | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers Have had my Sopra 2’s for 18 months. No issues with reliability and I push them. Have run them with Simaudio 700i, Hegel 300 and Mastersound Box. They handle soft jazz to Heavy Dub no issue. The Sopra’s love to be pushed and they know how to flex ... | |
| Axpona 2018 Integrated Mastersond BoX Thanks for the response. I will be pairing with Focal Sopra 2. Do you have any units in stock. Is there a return period if it doesn’t pair well with my speakers? The unit sounded great at the show. Very interested in a purchase. Will call you Mond... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Moto ManI have the same Joseph speakers you have in the exact same size room you have. I had the same thoughts/concerns you have. I purchased a pair of Sopra 2's, thinking these will be better in the 10X10 room. Over much time, I have concluded th... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Congrats, I am sure you will be very pleased, remember they do take time to break in. Be patient. Also I have run my Sopra's with a SA 600i, sounds really nice. | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Listened to NIN Into the Void, cranked it up to about 85db. Big powerful sound, filled the room, lots of information to dissect (the Sim and Sopra's were easily up to the task). With all the soundstaging in the mix, IMHO the main vocals are purpos... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height I have the Sopra 2's paired with Simaudio 700i. Huge soundstage, room filling vocals, when the artists intent was to have a huge soundstage. Can and will be more narrow and focused when the artist recorded that way. The speakers are very represent... | |
| Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2 SYK I was at AXPONA recently and ran across a Speaker Cable Company, Audio Envy (FT. Collins Co)., I bought a 8 foot pair of cables, cost around $250.00 for the pair. They sound really good with My 700i and the Sopra's. I compare them to my Silnot... | |
| Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2 SYK, I have the Sopra 2's. Have had them a year now and they have really opened up from when I first bought them. It takes some time, don't get discouraged if they don't sound as open and warm as you expected at the onset.My integrated amps are SA... | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Stevizzy, I found a great deal on a Nordost Valhalla Balanced XLR IC (use with Cocktail Audio X40 and Electrocompaniet CD 1 UP), very fast, accurate, sounds full, deep and wide at low volumes, (scary good real, when you crank it), the Simaudio and... | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Congrats. I relate to your last purchase tied to retirement. I did the same with retirement now 12 months away. Bought Focal Sopra 2's and Simaudio 700i in the last 6 months, I am set for retirement. The system kills.Enjoy your new speakers and re... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Johnnyswim - "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaak's. The new Johnnyswim CD, Georgica Pond is killer. I can't understand why they are not more famous. Crank this one up if you want to hear how good the Bass is on your system!!! | |
| Am I the only one to opt-out on the Sopra 2's? Dwhite, just checking in to see how you are enjoying the Sopra's, I assume they have started to open up for you. The low end should be very good. Mine shake the house when listening to some good B3 jazz. Those bass pedal tones are deep. | |
| Am I the only one to opt-out on the Sopra 2's? Dwhite, I assume your speakers are new and the dealers speakers had many hours on them?I have had mine 8 months and they continue to improve. I have about 250 hours on them. After the 1st month they started to sound like the pair I auditioned at t... |
