Flemming - If you have a small place, give the Sopra 1s a listen. I heard them at RMAF 2015 with Naim electronics and they sounded wonderful.

Hi All,
I'm currently driving my Electra 1028Be with an old Class-A integrated Marantz which is quite OK, But I've recently ordered a new set of Accuphase C-2120 + A65. These should be a huge leap forward, still waiting for them to arrive.

Nice. We, of course, demand pictures.

Sure
This is the current setup:
Marantz PM7200 Integrated
Cambridge CXN Streamer / DAC
Thorens TD318 Turntable



This is the Accuphase A-65 I purchased (Still at the dealer's):



Once the new amp is set up, I will share some new pics.

Cheers

Hi Jagman,

I have the Sopra 2's in white about a month old @ 185 hrs. driving them with a pair of Bryston 7B SST2's. They sound remarkable. Huge 3D soundstage, pinpoint imaging, great tight articulate bass. The mids and highs are stunning. The 7's are a great match as is the MAC 452 which is what was driving them at my audition. At 91 db sensitivity and 8 ohm nominal the Brystons are loafing along. Of course the 452 has more than enough to make them sing as well. I loved the 1038 BE's when I first heard them but the low end and leading edge sharpness on one of my test tracks kept me from them. The Sopras are in another league.

Default Bryston 7BSST2 & Sopra no2 ????

Guys new to the site how would a pair of 7B's sound with the Sopra no2's also paired with BP26 and Audioquest Aspen speaker cables?

Thinking about pulling the pin on a pair of Sopra no2's

Thanks for your time
