Floorstanding loudspeakers — Focal SOPRA N°2

The SOPRA N°2 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Focal, sharing sensitivity and power tolerance with the KANTA N°2 while offering a considerably deeper bass extension and greater mass. The SOPRA N°2 brings Focal's well-regarded Sopra-series engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 34Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, extending marginally deeper than the KANTA N°2. Sensitivity is 91dB into the standard 8 ohm load, matching the KANTA N°2. Recommended amplifier power spans 40-300W, also matching. At 119.0 x 35.8 x 54.0cm and 55kg, the SOPRA N°2's considerably greater weight than the KANTA N°2 reflects Focal's Sopra-series engineering emphasis on cabinet mass and internal bracing.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, precisely engineered character Focal's well-regarded Sopra series is known for, with the considerable 55kg mass suggesting serious internal driver and cabinet engineering beyond the related KANTA N°2.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and wide 40-300W recommended range suit a broad selection of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Focal's own SOPRA N°3 sits above this model with even greater sensitivity and power ceiling, while the KANTA N°2 offers a lighter alternative sharing identical electrical specifications.
