I have two pairs of Focal Sopra's coming. If you're in the Tampa area, you must come and hear them! They are really good, really really good. Maybe a little too good if you know what I mean. [emoji6]

When I listened to the floorsanding model at THE Show I was underwhelmed to say the least. Many possible reasons, of course, but the Stella and the Maestro both sounded excellent in their respective rooms.

What is MSRP for the Sopra?
 
MSRP is:

No. 1 - $8,999/pair
No. 2 - $13,999/pair

Rob - I heard them for several hours at a private audition in Montreal in April. I was VERY impressed - especially for their price point. I can't say what happened at THE Show...could have been a number of factors, but from what I heard myself and from what I'm hearing from folks who have auditioned them, its two big thumbs up!
 
I've been a big fan of the Utopia series but haven't felt that sound carried over well to their lower priced lines. From the looks of the Sopra I may have had higher than realistic expectations; it's also possible or even likely that the show setup was not optimally done.

Spot on, but I'm hoping the Sopra line is different. At least they look like lesser Utopias.

They sound very very much like the Utopia line. As I said, maybe a little too much. [emoji14]

Mike, do you know what would happen to the Electra line, now that Sopra is out? No. 2 is priced too close to the 1038Be.
