Focal Sopra N°3

View at Focal

3-way floor-standing speaker

Compactness, design and high-fidelity sound are the hallmarks of the Sopra N°3 luxury loudspeaker, which comes close to the ultimate performance of Focal's Utopia loudspeakers. It offers more powerful bass than its little sister, Sopra N°2, with its larger woofers. All music lovers will be seduced by Sopra N°3, which harmoniously deploys the bass.


A concentrate of unrivalled technologies

Equipped with the best midrange ever developed by Focal, with NIC and TMD technologies, Sopra N°3 pushes back the limits of reproduction in terms of sound transparency in a compact loudspeaker. With its 21 cm woofers (instead of 18 cm for Sopra N°2), it delivers even more powerful bass.


Excellence in detail


The deliberately visible decoupling tips were designed for Sopra and manufactured by watchmaking specialists. The Beryllium tweeter is protected by a grille with a lattice pattern. The same pattern is repeated on the back plate of the midrange.

Rating for Sopra N°3

Deliciously Crispy

Sound Quality

95/100

Build Quality

93/100

Value for Money

89/100

Built for huge scale and effortless control, the Sopra N°3 pairs a smooth, fluid tonal balance with a sprawling soundstage and taut bass. The Ear Editor praised its depth and speed, while Audiophilepure admired its giant, room-filling image and easy sweetness across genres.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"The Sopra N°3 is a masterpiece that belongs among the best loudspeakers you can buy."

The Ear

Pros

Expansive, deep soundstage that fills large rooms without a narrow sweet spot

Bass is powerful yet controlled, with clear low-end definition and no muddiness

Dynamics are fast, uncompressed, and highly energetic, staying composed at high levels

Smooth, natural midrange and refined treble keep vocals and percussion engaging rather than harsh

&

Cons

Its large cabinet and 70 kg weight make placement and handling demanding

Performs best in a large room with substantial amplification, so it is not the easiest speaker to accommodate

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 95/100

Reviewers consistently describe the Sopra N°3 as exceptionally accomplished and easy to live with musically. The sound is smooth and fluid yet still energetic, with a huge, immersive presentation, strong tonal balance, and the ability to handle everything from jazz and classical to loud rock without strain.

Bass

95/100

The low end is described as clear, controlled, and never muddy, with enough weight to make voices sound strong and deep. Reviewers also note that the bass foundation stays composed and does not push the woofers to their limits, which suits a large dual-woofer tower very well.

Mid

94/100

Midrange comments are very positive, with voices described as natural and comfortable rather than overly warm. Piano, cello, and bass are singled out for their realism and presence, and reviewers praise the way timbre and speed keep the music feeling balanced and engaging.

Treble

93/100

The treble is presented as fast, transparent, and refined rather than bright or edgy. Reviewers mention brushed hi-hats, strong percussion detail, and a presentation that stays delightful and not too harsh, suggesting excellent extension and control.

Soundstage Imaging

96/100

This is one of the speaker’s standout strengths. Reviewers repeatedly describe a giant, deep soundstage, a stable image that extends behind the speakers, and an expansive presentation that does not force the listener into a tiny sweet spot.

Dynamics

95/100

Dynamics are widely praised as outstanding, fast, and uncompressed. Reviewers note that the speaker can fill a large room, shake the floor at higher levels, and still remain composed and trouble-free with energetic music.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

93/100

Reviewers present the Sopra N°3 as physically impressive, beautifully shaped, and clearly engineered to a very high standard. The comments on the horn-loaded tweeter surround, damping, and reduced distortion suggest serious attention to design, even though long-term durability is not discussed in depth.

Value for Money

89/100

Value commentary is notably positive for a very expensive speaker. One reviewer calls it a bargain at its price, and another says it is recommended without limitation for listeners with the space and electronics to support it, which signals that the asking price is defensible in context.
