My next big swap out will be B&W 801s,
Wonderful to learn that you created a pair of RELs.
B&W 801s ... Matrix 801 / Nautilus 801 / 801D / 801 D4 ? Which one ?
D4s I reckon. Anything less will probably be too slight an upgrade. The Sopras really are very good indeed.

- Focal Sopra 2 (YYAudio Black Magic speaker cable)

- no intentional room treatment.
