Heard it today at brand new Focal Naim store in Istanbul and blown away. I'm an audio guy for many years and literally this was the top of my list when it comes to experiencing audio.

Even listening through my iPad the baseline sounds fantastic, loads of depth with plenty of wallop.

Played by Illsley on his Fender Precision. Wicked!

[@louissimmonds5509]

Ive heard these live and was shocked that speakers could sound so good. I think this song calls for a boomy base. The tight base is what blew me away when I heard them.

[@alainduquenois3812]

Dire straits leurs albums son magnifique et excellent

[@vicentvanmole]

lots of energy ,indeed very good speaker

[@donjohnson3701]

Thank you! This is possibly the closest I will ever get to audio nirvana!

[@kingtrance307]

This is possibly the closest I’ll ever get to a pair of Focal Sopra 3’s….

[@DS-wb2we]

that bass is really boomy

[@joz411no8]

Nice sounding room.

[@technics-n-thuiast8346]

Amazing

[@johnnyaxelsson6666]

At last great music for speaker test 👍🕺... The speakers are magic... My hair stands up in periods.. That is proof on good sound.. I have lissen on much more expensive speakers that sound not this good.. Its al about the combo, cables, amp,... Thanks for the session 👌🕺

[@JCLADOG]

I didn't know Dire Straits could sound so good.

[@robersniper]

1996 remaster album.... crazy good

[@fubarnow8907]

Huh? Would you really pay this much for these speakers?

[@-MarkWinston-]

​@@fubarnow8907 wtf not

[@es30888]

Sounds like my PC speakers for some reason...

[@robersniper]

hahaha....

[@bharatsodha3078]

Listen to the radio instead

[@stevenoconnor5693]

Nice

[@marc6652]

Really great sound (with my Focal Stellia). Special attention was paid to acoustics here apparently.
Focal Sopra 3 look "just a little too big" for my living room... which has not the ideal sound insulation either ! I think I'll stick with my Focal Sopra 1 🙂

[@wojciechwodek1862]

Takie kolumny place rocznie PiSowi, a ja mam z 95 roku przerabiane non stop przeze mnie też nie źle. A sklep mam od 25:lat w garażu, dlatego niech wam nie będzie zalRuskich - my mamy nadal w Polsce komune i o takich kolumnach możemy tylko pomarzyć.

[@martinabelloli4590]

what kind of audio ranks are these?

[@magicmulder]

The only thing I don’t get about the Focal model range is how the large Kantas compare to the small Sopras.

[@4kpariswalk443]

我会喜欢小型的SOPRA1

[@agvkiev]

speakers from my notebook never sounded so good

[@robotstonka7118]

They sound better with a sub!!
I have them integrated with Rel 812.
Same song sounds MUCH better.
The depth of sub bass is a game changer!!!

[@CaBdosdos]

Yeah too many purists don't even try subs but my sopra 2 really command authority when they don't have to worry about sub 80hz.

[@vadimvadimvasiliev5169]

Paradigm Persona 3F is cheaper than Focal. But it has a better frequency response.

[@fubarnow8907]

Who set this up? It's Haha Time for that.
I own a pair of Lower tier Focals.
I got them for a great price on sale.
I do not think I would buy these because of the price.
I can buy much better speakers for a lot less money
than what Focal's fetch at this price point.
Why did the operator put a couple of wood blocks under
the speaker cable, like a bridge? See how dumb this is?

[@DougMen1]

Terrible terrible sound, nothing but boomy bass and muffled nasal reflected sound bouncing all over. The worst I've ever heard!

[@Doputa]

xd

[@user-xf7ff6pk4m]

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

[@dmcmaster3544]

Put down your iPhone and listen with headphones please

[@anurags19]

U r correct

[@anurags19]

Too much boom
