Focal Sopra No.2

[Atticus]

Hi everyone,

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!

Finally, it seems you chose the PMC Twenty5 and not the SOPRA N2.
I'm owner of a Devialet D200 and SOPRA N2. These are really (to my ears) a perfect match with the Devialet. My problem is that the SOPRA are not W.A.F and they are huge comparing to our previous loudspeakers.
I'm thinking about selling the SOPRA N2 and buying the PMC twenty5.23...

Do you think the bass and precision can compare with the SOPRA ? it's less than half the size of FOCAL so my wife will be happy BUT will I lose a lot (musicality, bass extension….) by doing so ? 

Thanks everyone !
