Hey there,

I am moving away from my B&W 802D speakers, wanting to try something new. I have looked at many speakers and decided to go for Focals. I have a hybrid setup which is used for both 2 channel music and home theater.
The speakers will be driven by a pair of McIntosh 601’s.
I have a hard time deciding between Sopra 2/3 and the Scala V2’s. I have a large room, so all those speakers will fit.

I listened to the Sopra 2’s and liked the sound. I have no way to audition the Scalas but my logic tells me that since they are Utopia line, they should be better all around than the Sopras. The Scala V2’s are discontinued and replaced by a new, much more expensive speaker.

Are the Scalas built on older technology which is inferior to the Sopra line?
What would be the sound difference between those speakers?

How come I can barely find any reviews online on the Scala V2’s while there are so many on the Sopras? Is this suggestive of their quality/popularity?

I can get brand new Sopra 2’s for the same price as a used Scala V2’s.

Any guidance/recommendations will be greatly appreciated, I am going to purchase in the next day or two.

Thank you in advance!
