I am planning to get a devialet amp to drive my Sopra 2.

Although not as bright as some other focal models, sopra 2 can still be on the bright side.

For users with Sopra 2 out there, how do you find the matchup with devialet?
Is the sound more toward digital/bright/analytical?
Also, which model of devialet do you have with your sopra 2?

Any thoughts on using this combo for a 2.1 home theater setup?

many thanks

I was looking for a new set of speakers and narrowed it down to 2 different flavors  
Focal Sopra 2 and Wilson Sabrina, I auditioned  them both 2 or 3 different times 
using a Devialet D400 as the amps.
I preferred the Sabrina's but found them out of my price range, so i was all set to purchase
a set of Sopra 2's When I stopped by an other dealer who has a set on demo, also using Devialet amps
I was so shocked, I could not stand the sound, so bright it was ridiculous.
Dealer A they sounded beautiful no hint of brightness 
Dealer B they heart my ears

So it looks like Sopra 2 and brightness are VERY much room dependant.

I ended up purchasing a set of B&W 803D3

Have you considered Dynaudio Contour/Confidence ?

Devialet 220pro with Sopra 2 sounds awesome! One should also still in a very good speaker cable invest (Audioquest etc.)
