EJ ...my Sopra 2 are coming next week , and like a lot of owners the immediate search in our heads begins for power pairings .  I like your responses and posts from a couple of years ago so I decided to reach out , still satisfied with the mac pairings ? 

All i´ve known are B&W pairings with MCINTOSH power, on this upgrade of equipment I decided to try something different and settled on the SOPRAS but I'm having a hard time moving away from mac, would appreciate your feedback and any other owners who would care to comment.

I am an analog listener, I have auditioned the Sopras with NAIM and MCINTOSH so far, been told that VAC, BRYSTON AND SIMAUDIO are all can't go wrong choices . 

I will probably drive the SOPRAS with my current setup MC 2200 PREAMP AND C352 AMP until I decide where to settle .
