802D3 versus Focal Sopra 3

[GregGale]

I have been very interested in the new Focal Sopra series when I was searching for an upgrade to my 802D2's and heard the Sopra 2 demonstration which sounded excellent.

Once I heard the 802D3's I ultimately decided to go that direction.

I just read the review by Kal on the Focal Sopra 3 in Stereophile that I received today and was disappointed there was no reference at all to how the Sopra 3 compared to his reference 802D3.


Kal I am curious if you could comment on the sound quality differences between the two products? Typically when I have seen other reviews there are usually comments in regards to how they compared to their references, so it helps people to understand the differences.

I have already made my decision on the 802D3's but Kal I would really love to hear your perspective on the two.
