Thread: Focal Sopra 2 vs Wilson Sophia 3

If you have compared these two, would you be good enough to describe the sound differences, the shortcomings and anything else that comes to mind please?

I can't answer your question - but the Sophia 3 seems long in the tooth and probably will get revised soon with the new tweeter.

Hi Jeff,

The Sophia 3 has been discontinued for what that's worth. I've had the Sasha 1 same tweeter and now own the Sopra 2. The Sopra's are easier to drive and sound more natural and less fatiguing to my ear's.

I prefer the Sopra's

Thank you E!

Even Sabrina?

I auditioned both and Sopra won. Honestly it's hard to judge unless both are in my listening space.

Good point, anytime ANY driver calls attention to itself that's not a good thing, especially the tweeter. With that being said when I made my move away from di-poles I settled with Revel (Studio 2's), one of the most coherent 'box' speakers I've listened to.
