Milk Vanilla,
To be honest, my auditions of the 1038BE & Sopra No2's were at different dealers with really different rooms & acoustics. The 1038BE's were in a room I'd say was about 24'x24' with...

I did audition a set of floor standing Raidho's (maybe the C3.1's, not sure though) and the Dynaudio C2 Platinums and found both to be very "easy on the ears". Though the Raidho's have ribbon...

I was just floored at the sound the 1038BE's had when I auditioned them, now having the Sopra No2's for a while, I think I'd say that they have a little better detail in the high end & midrange,...

Dizzie,
My search started at the beginning of 2015, having the hots to replace my excellent Totem Fire monitors in the system in the living room. I listened to a number of other monitors, all...

I have had my Sopra No2's for about six weeks now and I am smitten. The speakers were not difficult to "dial in" to the room, fills my 26'x26' "man cave" with very rich, detailed sound (especially...

Joe,

After enjoying a pair of Totem Fire monitors for over four years I recently received a pair of Focal Sopra No2 floor standing speakers to replace them.

I was not unhappy with the Totems, much to...

I just recently replaced my Totem Fire monitors, speakers I enjoyed for over four years. The dealer who sold me the Totems recommended I not play them really loud for at least 150 or so hours,...

After months of auditioning speakers to replace my Totem Fire monitors, I selected a pair of the new floor standing Focal Sopra No2's. I received them about two weeks ago, put about 100 hours on...

I have been really impressed with the PS Audio DirectStream DAC, have had it for about eight months now, applied the latest firmware update a few weeks ago and the detail it finds in CD quality...

I am new to audioshark.org, enjoy reviewing the postings.

I am working on "scratching an itch" to replace my Totem Fire monitors, which do lots of things really well, hopefully I'll find a monitor...
