| 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... | |

| Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation Sorry to hear about this. I did purchase speakers from Coda Audio on Audigon May 2016, it was a weird process. At first they did try to get me to pay by Wire but I refused, went through Pay Pal. I did get the speakers and there was a little bit of... | |
| Sim Audio Integrated 600i vs 700i Thank you for the response bubba, I too felt the 600i was killer. Makes me wonder what the 700i at 4K more can possibly do so much better. I found one review that says "extra oomph" or horsepower from the 700i with increased resolution and dimensi... | |
| Need a new Integrated amp for Plinius Rm25XL's I have the same speakers you have and love them. I have used Hegel with the JA's and the synergy is very nice. A used lower level Hegel Integrated could be found in your price range, they have very good Dac's, so you could sell your DAC to fund a ... | |
