Long story short, this speaker is off my list of possible speakers to replace my ProAc Response D30R speakers. The Beryllium tweeter still sounds harsh to me and I really don't get what the whole hype or magic is all about.

Again, I got to compare them to the B&W 804d3 speakers and the B&W sounded sweeter, more coherent and a joy to listen to. It's truly an amazing speaker for it's size that produces some really deep & powerful bass (so does the Sopra 2) but the Diamond tweeter sounds better (to me) than the Beryllium tweeter.

Did you pay attention to the speaker cables they had on the Sopra 2? It's just recently become quite apparent to me that the beryllium tweater needs transparent cables. The brand that is, they mellow that tweeter out nicely.
