Dynaudio Sappires vs Focal Sopra 2's

Has anyone compared Dynaudio Sapphires with Focal Sopra 2's?. I own the Sapphires and love them but......... was VERY IMPRESSED with the Focal Sopra 2's. Not sure if they really are this impressive or am I just going through the change bug again $$$$. Any comments from those of you that have heard both are appreciated!

I've heard the Sapphires twice at different times with different gear at a dealers showroom.  While they were nice, but both times they failed to invoke an emotional connection. The associated gear was top notch I.E. Boulder, PS Audio, Clayton Audio ETC. Toe tapping was good but they just fell short of taking you "there". This is my personal experience and I'm sure yours will vary with room/equipment interfaces.
I have not heard the Sopra's but as has been said they are currently getting a lot of love on the audio sites.

Paul,

I certainly know how how our hobby goes... always something!

I look forward to hearing your impression of the Sopra 2's.

Best wishes,

John

IME, Dynaudio is okay at best. Most models are over-priced compared to other speakers. Go with the Focal!

 Having owned the Dyn C1 ,C4 and Utopias I disagree that dynaudio is "ok at best".IMO the confidence line is fantastic and can stand toe to toe in its price range especially when they were released, if they are just OK I have to hear what your listening to!.
