Sopra 2 soundstage height

That's more like what I'd expect to hear about them! 
The "well damped" room my be the problem. I tried seriously damping the wall behind my 936's, then damping the wall behind my seat. Night and day difference. The only thing I've got on the wall behind the Focals now are a couple of small carpets behind a thin satin curtain and that's plenty. Over damping the wall behind them severely reduced depth, height, and width and made the physical location of the speakers more vivid. 

Thanks for easing my concerns, they're ordered.  I don't think they liked the damped room and being so far from front wall.  They did not sound good with my electronics (NAD M12/M22) or the Moon 340i. They did sound pretty good with an AVM integrated.  I've got a budget solution to try out first while I get my gear sold (Vincent 236 MK).  Seems like it'll be a good match and soften the treble a bit which I prefer.  The moor expensive Sim gear and Accuphase are on my radar.

Congrats, I am sure you will be very pleased, remember they do take time to break in. Be patient. Also I have run my Sopra's with a SA 600i, sounds really nice.

I usually can't get past the look of the Simaudio stuff.  

Nice thread-  I have a question on the Sopra 2's bass response.  I heard them for the first time at a dealer who placed them 3 ft or so from back wall.  Great soundstage, mid bass was fine, but the lower bass was boomy.  I noticed this on jazz (with double bass), and orchestral music.  Was it his setup?  Do you find them to have flat bass response?  Any color on this is helpful!
