Specs. don't look too bad.
2, 8 1/4" woofers. 1, 6 1/2" mid-range. Consequentially slightly improved low frequency extension: 26Hz against 28Hz(at -6dB). Improved (claimed)sensitivity: 91.5dB against 91dB - Although the Sopra No. 2's sensitivity was measured closer to 88.5dB. So i'd personally take Focal's sensitivity figures with the proverbial pinch of salt.

After being bowled over by the Sopra No. 2's at a show(i know, right?) i can barely wait to hear the No. 3's.
