Focal Sopra No.2

This is my first post and I'm planning to buy my first stereo system!  I've learned a lot from you guys' posts and would greatly appreciate if you can offer me your opinions for my situation.

A bit about my listening.  I mainly listen to classical (violin, piano, orchestra) and vocals (female and male) and my main source is Tidal.  I use Windows laptop, and Android tablet and mobile phone.  I hope to stream my Tidal music to the Devialet 200 in which I plan to buy as my integrated amp.

For speakers, I'm contemplating between the Sopra 2, 1028Be and PMC Twenty 26.  I have auditioned them and found the Sopra 2 to be the best and the 1028s and 26s to be a tie while being different with the 26s being relatively more neutral.  I wonder whether any of you have listened to any of these speakers driven by the 200?  If money is no object, I would have opted for the Sopra 2 right away...so I'm contemplating if I should stretch my budget or if I will end up happy with either of the latter two speakers.

Lastly, is the 200 enough to drive the Sopra 2 effortlessly given the room size of no more than 30 sq.m.?

Thanks everyone!

I have Electra 1038 and I have driven them with one D200, no problem at all but I upgraded to a D400 and that resulted in even better sound. 
I have not heard Sopra with Devialet but I think the Sopra is better than my 1038 and this was with electronics not in the same league as Devialet. I think a Sopra No.2 with a D400 is going to be a killer, just need to sell my 1038 then Sopra is going to be ordered.
Speakers:TAD CE-1. Amplifier: TAD M2500mk2. Digital: TAD DA1000-TX, Innuos Statement Next-gen, Innuos PhoenixNET.
