    His reviews are entertaining and sometimes insightful although every new review appears to be a rave and the new product being reviewed is better than the previous product owned/ reviewed.

    I do. I think it sounds like a $35,000 speaker. Easy to drive and musical!

    The Sopra 3 is a monster!

    I think Sopra 2 is definitely the sweet spot in the line. Specs between 2 and 3 are so close.

    Re: New Focal Sopra No. 2 Review

    Has anybody had experience comparing Sopra 2 to Wilson Sophia 3? If so, how would you describe differences in sound, not specs or technical aspects please?
