Focal sopra 1 or kef reference 1 meta which one i should get?
Hi i am considering focal sopra 1 or kef reference 1 meta i am not able to hear any of these since no one have them in stock or no demo units... so i can order them blindly almost the same price, if someone ever heard any of these both of these can you comment on them, also
sopra 1 is almost 7-8 years old, is it worse ?
Because price wise is same like kef reference 1 meta,
also sopra 1 i can have in 4 weeks, kef reference 1 meta i need to wait half year due to chipshortage supply issues etcs.
Speakers will be paired with nad m33 amplifier .
Please tell me what do you think of that.
I will buy them new both of these.

Re: Focal sopra 1 or kef reference 1 meta which one i should get?
so if you buy them new you will lose a great deal if you dont like them . It would be a complete mistake to buy them new without hearing them . there will be some Hi fi shows in bulgaria or nearby countries that would give you a taste . I have had 2 focal [ 1028be and diablo ] both good but sometimes they can be a teeny bit bright . You will be better off buying something you CAN hear and evaluate unless you can afford to lose a lot of money
oh and read this carefully

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
