Easier said than done when you live in the middle of nowhere.
That being said, I have heard the Sopra and Scala. The problem, is I have only heard the Scala Evo, not the v1/v2. |

The Sopra No.3 is the only Focal that I have ever had in my listening room.

I think I am going to have to try and find a demo of the 802 D3.
Before this all, I wasn't even considering the 802 D3, but now it is among my final choices. I am currently between: B&W 802 D3, Focal Scala v2, and Wilson Audio Sabrina. Out of those choices I am much more "dazzled" by the 802 and Scala. |

Has anyone listened to the 800 D3 and Magico A5? I've read some great reviews on the A5 and priced better. D4's we have no idea of changes and pricing.

No but I owned 800D2s for 5 years, and recently I heard an in-home demo of A5s at my business partner’s house, with all MSB electronics, Otari R2R, compared to 800Ds as his main speakers. The 800 series have much more bass, quite fun actually, ported so not quite as “accurate” a presentation, but the A5s would need a subwoofer in his large room. Otherwise the A5s had a more accurate and better detailed midrange and treble, using 30ips 1/2 inch reel to reel tape, close the masters, as our source. My conclusion was in a medium room the A5s would be great, but in a larger room the 800 series would be preferred unless running a subwoofer with the A5s. He kept his 800Ds. |

The 800 D3 is a different animal altogether, a completely new construction and a huge step up compared to its predecessors. (I went from 800 D2 to 800 D3). To unleash the full potential of the 800 D3, just good sources, amplification and cables are not sufficient. Sources, amplification and cables as well as electronic room correction need to be at the same absolute top level as the speakers themselves (e.g. Accuphase, Audioquest WEL, dCS). Martin |
