They look gorgeous, nice looking room. Now its time for you to get a Devialet 220PRO companion to make a 440PRO that way you will really make the Sopras sing. Brian |

Are you selling your speakers on Audiogon? Did not have them for long if that is the case.

Hello. There is a very nice and thorough review by Kalman Rubinson in the April issue of Stereophile. Regards...

I just read the Sopra 3 review in Stereophile. I mostly agree with what the reviewer says, although the review comes off as sounding just a bit lukewarm rather than as a rave review. There is a suggestion that these speakers need a large room to sound their best, although I get excellent results in my room, which is slightly larger than the reviewer's room.
In the Recommended Components, also in the same issue, the Sopra 3's get "only" a B rating. Personally I think they deserve an A. I've listened to some of the A-rated speakers in the listings, and I think the Sopra's are superior. To each his own. |

I was a little surprised myself with the B rating. The Dynaudio Contour 20 got an A rating.
