Offered is „Sopra N°3 | Paar“ by Focal as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4124969776 ends on 17.11.2026 at 10:26 o'clock.
A well-sorted pair of these can be a real endgame move, but this asking price is firmly on the ambitious side for the used market. With recent comps centered at €8,951 and the upper quartile at €10,756, €13,798 sits well above typical asking levels, so it needs exceptional presentation or extras to justify itself.
What makes them worth chasing is the Sopra 2’s mix of scale, clarity, and ease of placement for a speaker of this stature. They’re highly regarded for strong imaging, lively dynamics, and a refined top end, so a clean, complete pair from a careful owner can still be very attractive. At this price, though, buyers should want original packaging, verified condition, and a compelling reason the premium is there.

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.
