Focal Sopra No. 1

Focal Sopra No. 1
The smaller sibling of the Sopra No. 2 made its first U.S. appearance at the show. To get a Focal Sopra No. 1, take the upper module of the bigger speaker (with its 6 ½” mid/woofer and 1” beryllium inverted-dome tweeter) and turn it upside down. And subtract $5K from the price: The Sopra No. 1s go for $8995. They’re billed as “bookshelf” speakers but deployed on stands, as they were in the AudioPlus room, the Sopra No. 1s sounded like good-sized, full-range transducers. The reproduction of voices was exquisite and, partnered with Naim NAP 250 DR amplification, they played low and loud without stressing at all at the demands thrown their way.
