Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3?

3 feet is pretty close. 

Either way, bass trapping isn’t an option, it’s a necessity for every single setup if you want maximum performance in the bass region.  Important to note that bass trapping is NOT doing the same thing that equalizing or room correcting the bass does.

Well put, @contuzzi. Equalization will not correct room modes and overly long bass decay..

Focal hasn't supplied port bungs in a while. What's more, even if they did, it would be impossible to install one on the Sopra No.2 and No.3 since the port is on the bottom of the speaker. 

I’ve owned both speakers and my room is 16x12 with high ceilings, the Sopra 3 is exactly like most comments that has been said about them, mine were on Naim 500 series so I was getting the best of them since they were designed and voiced on that equipment and since have moved on to a pair of Focal Scala V2
