I heard the Sopra 2 too . Very nice indeed but the Sopra 1 with that stands with little int amp for living room would make a killer system.

RMAF was the debut for those Modwright amps. May be awhile before they are released. Might want to contact the Canadian distributor, Tri-Cell in Toronto and see what they say.

I bet these paired with a Devialet/SAM setup would make for an awesome sounding, and simple system. They sure are beautiful.

How are the Sopra 1s different to the standmounted Diablos?

Paul, I stopped by to hear the Sopra 1's three times, they're amazing. I liked them better than the Sopra 2's.

I owned the Diablos for over a year. If Mike gets a pair set up, I'll give a listen to them and compare. The Diablos were fantastic, other than the lowest octave of course. I didn't have a great subwoofer that would blend very well then. That has changed now, with some of the JL, REL, Martin Logan, and other subs. My room was also too big for them as well. I'm sure they would perform even better in a smaller room.

The new technologies and the wave guide in the Sopra 1's produce a very coherent speaker and a competitive price.
 
I'd not a gambler but I'd be willing to bet that the Diablo Utopia will have a redesign coming within a year to incorporate some of the new engineering that Focal put into the Sopra line.
