Used Excellent condition and first owner as new from Acoustica Chester in September 2022, still under warranty. The sale includes the two speakers, the matching grills and floor spikes, the original boxes and packaging.
The Sopra No2 is a standout floorstander, and £7,950 looks like a strong buy against the current used market. With a median comparable asking price of £9,366 and a 25th percentile of £7,770, this sits just below the lower quartile, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than merely fair value.
That matters because this is one of Focal’s more accomplished large speakers: big scale, high resolution, and real dynamic grip when partnered well. In excellent condition, the upside is clear if the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean and it comes complete with original accessories or boxes. I’d want to confirm flawless tweeter and woofer operation, but at this price the listing deserves serious attention.

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.
