I must admit, that even staying with Focal, I'm not convinced a Sopra 1 much is better than a Solo6, and the later is active with thrice as cheap, maybe the Sopra 1 has better power handling? It's 89 db at not specified on the website :mad: and can handle up to 150W. But that's very expensive for the gain, especially since there's the ST6 which is still cheaper, has a larger enclosure with an 8" woofer.

Yes, a measured comparative review would be so interresting ! I wish Amir could get more Focal or Cabasse products

The Solo6 (Be or ST6) does have a 6.5" woofer, not 8, nor that the enclosure is larger than Sopra N°1 by any means (quite the opposite). AFAIC, I tested both, I prefer the Sopra N°1.

The ST6, the three way has an 8" woofer, a 5" mid driver and a 1" tweeter. Interesting that you prefer the Sopra over the other models, what do you think are the reasons behind the improvements and what were the improvements.

That is Trio6. ST6 is a generation, not a speaker. Trio6, Twin6, Solo6, (the one you mentioned in your first post), Sub12... all are ST6.

Let's use respective dedicated threads for any discussion about the speakers themselves. Thanks. ;)

In Germany only, 60 km from here ( NL) that's why I was curious.

You can try to have the speakers delivered to a DHL shop / shipping shop near the border.

That reminds me, do we have any measurements on these speakers? A bit off topic I know...

Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G loudspeaker Measurements

Sidebar 3: Measurements I measured the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G's farfield behavior with DRA Labs' MLSSA system, an Earthworks microphone preamplifier, and a calibrated DPA 4006 microphone. I used an Earthworks QTC-40 mike, with its small ¼"-diameter capsule, to measure the nearfield...
