Offered is „Sopra No.1 incl.Stands“ by Focal as exhibit from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9119700465 ends on 01.11.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
Focal’s Sopra line sits high in the brand’s range, so this one has real pedigree and is aimed at buyers who want serious resolution in a compact footprint. At €6,800, the asking price is right on the median of the recent comparables and sits comfortably inside the normal used band between €5,715 and €7,187, so it reads as fair rather than ambitious.
That makes it a sensible buy if the pair is genuinely clean: the Sopra No.1 is prized for its open midrange, strong imaging, and more refined, room-filling sound than most standmounts. If the finish is tidy and the original boxes, grilles, and accessories are included, the value case gets better still; at this price, a well-kept example is very much a buyer’s opportunity rather than one to nitpick.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
