Offered is „Sopra No.2“ by Focal as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3456855302 ends on 01.11.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
Timing is fine here: this is a mature generation, but not so old that it feels obsolete, and the asking price lands below the 25th percentile of recent EUR comparables. At €9,990 against a median of €13,079 and a 75th percentile of €14,575, this reads as a strong deal rather than a merely fair one.
That makes it a compelling buy if the pair is clean and fully working. This model is well regarded for big-scale dynamics, deep bass weight, and a smooth, resolving presentation that still has the punch to do real hi-fi and home-theater duty. If the cabinets, drivers, and grille fronts are intact and the sale includes the original packaging or accessories, it becomes even more attractive; at this price, I’d be focused on condition and provenance, not haggling over the tag.
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.
