Had the opportunity to listen to a pair of new Sopra No.2 & Utiopia Scala on my local dealer's floor a couple of weeks ago. Both driven by the same pair of Bryston 28B3 amps & files from a Sony HAP-Z1ES (forgotten which preamp). Listened to the Scala for about 15min before they moved the cables to the Sopra No.2. Big mistake. Once having listened to the Utopia the Sopra No.2 were "a bit less" than I had hoped for. The Scala were truly outstanding. If the V2 are close to the Evo and you can fit them in your listening space & budget, go for it.
