Old B&W 804 Matrix vs Focal Sopra 1

[Dave Wilcox]

I've been using B&W 804 Matrix (805 center) for several years for home theater. Now I do a lot of Hi-Res 2-channel listening...would the Focal Sopra 1 bookshelf speakers be an upgrade for the money? I can't go with another floor standing speakers as my projection screen is wall to wall and everything is taller than what I have. Thanks in advance for any input.

I do believe those Sopra 1's would be an upgrade. Materials will be different in the Sopra's. I don't think you can go wrong if you purchase them. If you do, come back to the forum and tell us about it.
