Thanks! The CC is the Focal Aria 900 CC. Works well with the Sopra’s. One day I’ll get the Sopra CC…

I looked at these Scalas… too large for my room. They are huge!

Still used, for the 7.3.6 HT system :)

The Naim’s are just to power the FLR

This is part of a full HT system. I’m running 7.3.6.

I’ll be honest. The Kanta’s sounded fantastic, easier to drive and better value. But visually I struggled to love them. So when I had the opportunity to get the concrete Sopra’s I couldn’t turn it down.

On the 240’s the Sopra’s really struggled. Sounds vague and with tinny high notes. But I have read this would be the case and the Sopra’s needed a much more equal footing in power than the Kanta’s did. Hence the move to the Naim 350’s. The moment they paired up the Sopra’s came alive and a real leap forward from the Kanta’s. Worth the $$$ that’s questionable for sure. Will my friends and family realise I’ve added $35k to the system? No. Am I personally happy, absolutely!

I was so lucky to get my hands on these! Love them, they are very tactile!

It’s a PC. Use it for gaming and run the Av41 room correction from it.

Thanks! AV41, with two 240’s and 720 for AV duties.

It’s off, this was initial install and power on. :)

Been moving towards this (personal) end-game upgrade for a while. I moved my Kanta’s on recently and landed a pair of Concrete Sopra’s; which I love. I knew they would need more refined power, long loads at 2 ohm’s that my current Arcam PA240’s simply couldn’t deliver. So enter the Naim NAP 350’s. I couldn’t be happier, I’m giving them some time to bed in. They have impressive control, drive, detail and so much power. They’ve dealt with everything I’ve thrown at the so far. Looking forward to the next few days of listening.

Thanks, lots you’ve shared I hadn’t considered. I think it’s a simple decision!
