Thoughts on Focal Sopra N1
#5
(14-Apr-2018, 19:19)Stino Wrote: The Special Fourty is indeed an impressive speaker. It has a tweeter which is a further development on the famous Esotar 2 and the midrange driver is the same as in the Contour. An impressive amount of music comes from this small yet beautifully looking box. I preferred the Contour 20 nonetheless: the larger cabinet gives it more presentation and muscle.

Vivid is a good brand but I think the speaker is a little bit less revealing (less detailed) than the Focal and the Dynaudios. If you can audition...

Stino, thanks for your impressions!
