Focal Sopra 1: challenging amplifier search...

Are you a Neat dealer? I think you’ve mentioned them before. I used to own a pair of MF7’s. Had them for about 10 years, and loved them. A house move, and an itch to try something new lead me to replacing them. Still miss the chest pounding bass.

Yes. I’m a sucker for ribbon tweeters. Add isoberic bass and I’m in!

Why stop at tweeters? Piega uses ribbons for all but bass - and astonishingly good they are. Coaxial top and middle ribbons. I heard Coax 711s soon after auditioing Magicos of similar size and construction - I know which sounded better! PeterPIEGA Coax Ribbons.jpgPiega COAX-711.png
 
Hi David,
My Luxman l 590axII matchs very well with my Magellan Quattuor (90db). I wonder if the 590 has enough current for the Sopra 1…

I have about 350 hours on a new 590axII with the Sopra 1s now. Probably one of the best associations I've had. Power and especially current are more than sufficient for the speakers. Now just optimizing a few cables here and there but I will stay with this setup for a few years. Really quite good on literally all music genres. Happy camper I'd say.
