I have heard all of the three speakers I listed and they are very good but also very different.
My room is rather large around 55 sqm so it needs a bit of the speakers to fill the room.
The Raidhos are really impressive and one cant really believe it is only 2 four inch woofers in them but they are no match to the Sopra in the bass. The new Focals are to me when they are fully broken in one of the best speakers I have heard so they are right now on top of my list.

Made the call today to my dealer and ordered a pair of Sopra 2, after listening to them on several times and looked at every review I could find on the net I think I made the right decision.
