Originally had sopra 1's+stands decided to upgrade to sopra 2's after listening to them at Peter Tyson (Newcastle Upon Tyne) with same all in one nova,my musical taste ranges from Santana to Diana Krall ,most female/male singers 60's to date.These speakers are just worlds apart from the 1's,the sound is warm,bright, lively,mellow, vibrant.I can wholly recommend them to anyone with understanding wife (£15000).
I bought the concrete brown (mocha/copper) to blend in with furnishings. Note not lightweight to move around 122lbs/55kgs each.

Perfect sound. Best loudspeaker!!

Thanks

So far, best speaker I have heard. All parameters excellent, fit and finish excellent, attention to detail excellent, ease in driving excellent, tech innovation excellent, integration into system, excellent, design appeal excellent. Details of sound with tube amp; open transparent, detailed, very wide and deep soundstage, imaging is excellent, most coherent musical speaker I have ever heard. Even at retail a "best" compared to the competition and better overall than some at thousands more. Agree with Steve Huffs review.

Sounds great in my 442 sq ft room.

Amazing speakers, fill of depth and detail.

Es ist der beste Lautsprechern ich jemals gehört habe! Die Sopra 2 reproduziert den Klang so authentisch, dass bei jedem Musikstück das Gefühl entsteht als würden die Musiker vor einem musizieren. Es ist als ob die Musik im Raum schwebt. Die Gesangsstimmen kommen einem förmlich entgegen und sind von einer realen Stimme kaum zu unterscheiden. Das ist nicht nur meine Meinung! Meine High End Freunde waren auch ganz sprachlos. Dynamik und Ortbarkeit ganz groß. Super gemacht Focal!!!

I have the Concrete 10th Anniversary Edition and they match my decor. These speakers are very musical and enjoyable. Of course the sound depends a lot on the rest of the system but given a high quality signal these speakers will rock your world ! After trying out 3 different speakers I finally settled on these
and they are keepers !

Great looks and an amazing sound quality. I`m using a McIntosh MA352 and it seems the be a good combination for my "small"room ( 5 x 3.5 mtr). It performs flawless all genres of music I own. And still they are new so they will only get better! If you like strong bass performance and you can afford it...don`t hesitate to buy them ;-)) I guess you won`t regret it...I will certainly NOT.

Amazing speaker, fabulous sound and beautiful looks. Very transparent and clear ... And the bass...WOW !! At first I was afraid that my room wouldn't be big enough, but there is no problem what so ever. Very high volume playback still sounds perfect. And at very low volume they still sound perfect. They will make me a very happy listener at very different kinds of music...they perform excellent!

Excellent sound - perfect speaker

I've been using my speakers now for 7 years and have never ever regretted their purchase. From Trance, Classical to pop. They handle all.

I bought the 10th Anniversary limited edition Sopra 2 speakers (tin and slate finish are the only differences as far as I can tell). The finish matches my listening room’s design and colour scheme perfectly and they blend with my aesthetic like pieces of modern sculpture.

The speakers do sound exceptional. I personally believe that one has to tune speakers to the listening room, and that starts at the selection stage. They are rather large speakers, certainly considerably larger than the B&W805s that they replace. Thankfully the speakers do not overpower the space and I have yet to find any resonance issues or bass humps.

Positioning of the speakers had to be precise, but that’s not that unusual for speakers I guess. The stereo imaging and sound stage did not appear until I used a laser measuring tool. But these tools don’t really help with toe-in. This is not so easy when you consider the weight of the speakers and that there is nothing really to hold on to when you move them. Not such an issue for a gentleman of my age and size, but definitely would be a challenge for someone smaller or older perhaps.

Set-up would have been much easier for 2 people.

The sound of the speakers are incredible. I use Roon via a wired MacMini, using a Hegel H390 and a mains regenerator from PS audio, which seem to fit well with one-another, but I did audition the speakers during a Focal / Naim event, and they also sounded excellent.

The speakers are not full range, with a 35-40 Hz -3dB lower end and 28 Hz at -6dB. I have integrated my B&W PV1 sub with the speakers, which integrated easily. The sub and the Sopra 2’s have the same finish which is perfect for me.

The boxes are enormous, I’ve always thought that Hifi boxes should be designed to fold up, which I can do with other storage boxes, or even one box could fit inside the other to half the amount of storage space required. I also have no idea why the packing was seemingly polystyrene or some other synthetic polymer?

There are more environmentally considerate alternatives to the packing that I would have preferred used.

The speakers absolutely need burn-in which my dealer kindly did for me, but they also needed to warm-up and adapt to my listening room, but the rewards for this are a rich, clear and class leading sound, a wide and tall soundstage.

I tend to change speakers every year, but strangely, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Sopra 2s will be with me for many years to come, as they are just that good.

Have only been setup and listening for two hours or so, but I'm very pleased with the musicality and refinement of these Sopra No 2 speakers.

Stunning sound, hands down. Couldn't be happier, and absolutely love the biege natural wood finish. Upgraded from Kanta 3s, which I absolutely loved. This already has me wondering "Wow, Sopra is such a step up from Kanta... I wonder when I'll make the next jump to Utopias?"

Das ist in dieser Preisklasse ein unschlagbar toller Lautsprecher. Er legt zu meiner vorherigen Kanta 2 in allen Bereichen nochmal ordentlich zu.
Vor allem schätze ich die Kontrolle im Bassbereich. Unglaublich gut.

I recently bought the Sopra 2 in Black Oak and have just started listening to them. I'm really impressed by the quality of the sound and not to mention the build quality. I had a pair of Focal Aria 926 before that I really liked, but compared to the Sopra the difference is enormous - and also the price.

Over the years I have owned loudspeakers like the Infinity Kappa 100 and electrostatic loudspeakers from Martin Logan. After just a few days listening I think the Sopra is much better than any of them. I'm really impressed.

Very nice.

They sound fantastic, and looks so cool.

铍高音很好，三频平衡，效果也很好，现在正在煲箱，相信N2箱子的声音会越来越好听。

Very good sound

More than expected, rich in sound with lots of precision. Key is very musical. Lovely.

These speakers are absolutely beautiful and even though I don't have them set up in the optimum position yet they still sound better than any speaker I have ever heard. I am so glad I opted for this model in the gloss black. I got them from Joel at Upscale Audio in La Verne, CA and I have to tell you those guys rock, they know their business and the number one concern for them is customer satisfaction. Joel is a pleasure to do business with!

Stunning product. Sounds beautiful !

These speakers are one of the most musical speakers I have ever listened to! The voicing is amazing. My kids love the bass, my wife who is a concert pianist loves the depth and presence, and I continue to experience a “new” speaker as I discover new music. These sound amazing at soft and louder levels. You know you’ve got. A great speaker when the snare and cymbals sound crisp. The design and attention to detail is uncanny. I bought the white! My kids say they are stormtrooper speakers. To celebrate this we went out and bought a Star Wars LEGO set and cued up some John Williams orchestrations! The best LEGO build ever! Thank you Focal for your innovation. Paired with the Luxman 590axii is a hard combo to beat.

impressive looks, well build and the sound is great; still running in the system but the sound is already great and improving.
Setting up was easy although somewhat heavy!

Still need time to break in.
Very satisfied so far with the sound.
The last speaker I'll ever buy.

Having just taken delivery of my new Sopra 2's they still need some break-in time but right out of the box, they sounded awesome. I spent several months shopping for new speakers, reading review after review. The name Focal kept coming up with nothing but high ratings. My other choice was by another reputable speaker manufacturer but their reviews always started out with how beautiful the cabinets were vs comments about performance. This was not the case with Focal, it always began with comments about performance. I auditioned the Sopra 3's and 2's back in December 2019 and was blown away by the high end detail and deep bass along with an unbelievable sound-stage. I chose the Sopra 2's for two reasons, power requirements( I am running a McIntosh 8207, 200 watts per channel) and the available space I had in my 16X16 listening room. They are a beautiful addition with a quality build. I am well pleased at this moment but can't wait until I've been able to put some playing time on them, I can't imagine how they can get any better but I know they will.

Ein geheim Tip für alle die Wert auf guten Klang legen, ich war von der ersten Minute gefangen von den Klangfarben dieses Lautsprechers. Die Größe ist gerade noch wohnraumfreundlich, die Angabe bis 30qm kann mann getrost glauben schenken, für mich ein Volltreffer im Bereich der Schallwandler. Freue mich auf viele Hörstunden, und in der Farbe Weiß ein Traum.
Danke Focal ( listen beyond )

Ich bin total begeistert! Noch nie meine Sammlung in dieser Qualität gehört!

Just received but already amazing....

Absolutely love these! They really sound best with tubes. Even my wife loves the look of these.

A picture and video tell a thousand words! i love this speaker and it sounds FANTASTICALLY WELL!!!!!!!!

I have been an audiophile for 49 years and have owned a number of speakers over the years. The Sopra2’s are everything the write ups say and more.
Incredible sound, beautiful fit and finish.

orange sound as bright as color driven with mcintsoh 300 x3 is a perfact match the rock to Allman brothers bob Seger and ramsay lewis surrond sound with sopra center spent the $$ and well worth it talk my Bro into same system Love Focal and my 2 and center and n1

Great sound. Change color of screw into black. Make the head of the screw larger so easier to adjust the hight. Packaging is well thought of

Happy with the product but had to be exchanged due to imperfection in manufacturing speaker had what appeared to be glue marks and other imperfections on the cabent. Second pair still had few tuch up with black marker just unacceptable but I gave up at this point.

++++++++++++++++++

excellent product - what wires to you recommend?

Detailed and very natural sounding speakers. Very happy with their performance.

The Sopra N2 is a wonderfully musical speaker.

The best loudspeaker I have ever owned under £20,000!!!
Amazing detail, presence, transparency and dynamics everything you need in a loudspeaker. State of the art technology coupled with stunning looks and build quality.

After 20 years with a pair of B&W Nautilus 804s I decided an upgrade was necessary. I first purchased the Focal Kanta 2 and spent two weeks being mesmerized. Despite my love for the Kanta's I felt i had to try the Sopra as this may be the last speakers i own. I visited the store, auditioned them, paid the upgrade price from the Kanta and within four hours they were set up in my home.

The Sopra 2 is the most accomplished speaker I have heard. Matched with the Devialet 220 Pro, controlled by Roon running Tidal Pro the speakers deconstruct a track and you can hear exactly what the producer and artist were trying portray. Almost invisible which is the highest praise I can infer. They can be played at any level without alteration.

The speakers cabinets appear to defy the laws of physics. They are larger than the Kanta yet seem to take up less space. They are less visible too which is amazing considering i purchased a white p[air resembling the Empires top storm-troopers.

I write this after only a few hours of playback. I expect at least one hundred hours to break them in and only then will i truly understand the infinite beauty.

Sublime

They are still being broken in, but they are a huge step up from my previous Theils. They are also gorgeous speakers...best purchase I have made for my home sound system.

Steve

Meets
expectations

This is a great speaker and I love the looks and the sound

I continue to be amazed at these speakers. No matter what genre of music I throw at them, they respond with clarity, accuracy, and a level of detail that makes my jaw drop every time I listen.

These speakers just blow me away - fast, efficient, transparent. The sound is beautiful and the design is elegant and classes up my room ; ) I came i to my local store to audition two other pairs of speakers, but when I heard the Sopra No. 2s I knew there was no need to look further.

This is an amazing speaker, incredibly happy with it. I listen mostly to Rock and occasionally blues, jazz and pop. It's like having a live rock band in my living room which is an open space with furniture. I haven't done anything to the room to improve the sound so it's completely uncontrolled. However, I found a big improvement when I angled the speaker in a little towards the centre.

These replaced my Legacy Aeris speakers and it was the best audio decision I have ever made! Thanks to the guys at David Michael Audio for a great purchase experience.

Amazing speaker!!

Tight tuneful bass, very transparent midrange, extended highs and extremely well balanced from top to bottom.

I don’t think that you can find a better speaker at this price.

The Sopra 2 has brought my system to the next level of performance.

Best listening experience ive ever had

Unbelievable loudspeaker. Imaging, detail, scale and realism from top to bottom is just outstanding.

After 37 years replaced ADS L810 Loudspeakers with the Sopra 2s. System includes Audio Research LS28 preamp, Adcom GFA-5802 power amp & Sony SCD-XA5400ES SACD/CD player. Listened to high-end speakers from several manufacturers, some costing considerably more. Half hour into the Sopra 2 audition there was no doubt these were the speakers I wanted. Out of the box they sound marvelous; strings, brass, all instruments, sound real, and of course, everything will only get better as they break in. The Sopra 2s may just offer the best cost/quality ratio in hi-end loudspeakers.

Excellent 3d sound image. Detailled and ”musical” sound reproduction.

Absolutely awesome!

Hi, This is my first focal hi end speaker. I have replace PMCtwenty26 and bought it. I feel i made a good decision. I have attached Sopra No.2 with NAIM 300 DR,NAC N272 with 555PSDR , NAIM Fraim,Naim Superlumina speaker cable and Superlumina interconnect and Naim Powerline.

In comparison to my earlier PMCtwenty26, the mid range and Low frequency is super clear. The base is also good but not excellent.

I've got this awesome speakers for two weeks now and can't stop enjoy every second that I listen to them!
Sopra 2 has very clean, well balanced with tough bass and high resolution sound.
I've previously Electra 1038 and liked them very much, so I've been a bit skeptic about buying Sopra 2 without listen to them , but after I've got them.... I've no worlds to say how much I love sound of Sopra 2 it different and much much better!
The music I listen is of different styles - from classic and jazz to heavy metal and electronic, all kinds sounds very good, I can't say that some music sounds worse of other.
Amazing, unbelievable sound!
Thanks and regards to Focal team that do it for us!

The Sopra2's have redefined the sound of music. I understand as the break-in period continues my enjoyment will continue to grow. It is clear that Focal products pride themselves in quality sound.

Stupendous

Excellent sound

Great speaker-auditioned a number of speakers but none matched sopra 2 for build quality and sound.

Très satisfait, complète bien ma chaine hi-fi

I can't rate this product yet I only heard them at local store and haven't broke them in yet. I am waiting to purchase Amplifiers and Surround processor along with your center channel and possible surround speakers or bookshelf speakers. I will submit a complete review upon completion of system assembly.

The Sopra No 2 speakers are truly AMAZING. It's like the band is in the room. The mid range is to die for. Voices are outstanding.
I

Beautiful speaker; beautiful sound

Just love the sopra no2.Much better than the Audiovector sr6 avantgarde arreté i had before. This speaker Will stay in my setup for a very long time, only to be overtaken by another focal speaker .Very happy and proud to own these amazing speakers. My deepest respect to the focal company. Very well done.

My wife and I love the sound that these speakers produce.

The look of these speakers are what grab you first and then you take a listen, amazing!!!

5 Stars.

Fantastic monitors for mastering.

Currently breaking them in so I can't comment but I do expect great things from what I've read. I've been a Dynaudio fan for years but these may be my new passion!

A stunning piece of musical engineering. The three dimensional quality of sound that this speaker produces is beyond anything that I have previously experienced. Musical nuances where clearly and effortlesly recreated. It's hard to explain in words but what I heard was a speaker that was able to place sounds precisely where they belonged. The air, depth and space was measurable. The room I was listening to the speakers in was moderately sized and yet it felt that the speakers extended beyond the boundaries of the walls. The sound is big but never overwhelming, what was even more impressive is that it did this effortlessly at moderately loud levels as well as conversational levels. Listen to them, enjoy them and if you're like me, you'll start saving up to buy them.

Best Speaker in the market. Detail of the sound is amazing, it can reproduce vocal, instruments in perfect harmony. The speaker looks very well finish and give the best experience ever.

Nice sound and outlook

very articulate, extremely sensitive to system

These speakers look and sound fantastic. Transparency and quality of the sound they are able to delivered is amazing.

Enjoying my new Sopra No2's!Received them about two weeks ago, gently broke them in, and now that they have at least 100 hours of playing time, am starting to enjoy the rich detail, excellent dynamics, superb soundstage that these speakers offer, driven by electronics which are smooth sounding.I searched for many months, auditioning quite a few speakers in its price range, many of them thousands of dollars more, none of them stacked up to the musicality that these Sopra's offer!

Natural sounding, good low level extension, sparkle in higher frequency, well balanced

Listened for 15 minutes - bought them. I could say more but I am not a reviewer. Just music.
