Anyone here use the Focal Sopra N1s with a Devialet 200? I am thinking about upgrading from my Atohm GT1s. Love the look and sound staging of stand mounts, so I'd prefer to stick to this profile. I listen mainly to pop/jazz music with a sprinkling of classical. Also, the design and look of a speaker are important to me, and the Focal ticks those boxes. Finally, I want to employ speaker active matching, another box tick for the N1.
Devialet Expert 220 Pro Kinki EX-M7 power amp tethered to a fiber-fed Lumin X1 streamer via Grimm XLRs, Vivid B1 Decade speakers in Rosso Barchetta red (only 200 produced in a limited edition), Roon Nucleus with a Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD, etherREGEN switch fed by a Sonore opticalModule (and Sonore-supplied transceivers and 1M optical cable) with a SOtM dCBL-Cat7 cable to my Nucleus and a DH Labs Reunion Cat8 to my Lumin T2 streamer, Keces P8 linear power supply feeding a (to come) NUC and EtherREGEN switch with an external AfterDark OCXO clock., and opticalModule (5V/1A), AudioQuest Niagara 1000 power conditioner, ASI LiveLine loom (purchased directly from Franck Tchang when I lived in France), Less Loss Firewall for Speakers and Roon lifetime license with Tidal streaming.
