Paging Marco...I'd love your thoughts on speakers

Hey man, it's been a while since we chatted on here about home audio. You seem to have a lot of experience with different brands, so would love your thoughts.
I have been a B&W fanboy ever since my first a pair of speakers I bought back in college...a pair of CDM7SE's all the way until the 802D3's and matching speakers for the home theater I have now. Over the last few months, I have had the itch to look at changing manufacturers if I find something that blows me away. I would likely trade in my 802's, so staying in that general price range is needed.
I used to hae Focal speakers in my car and loved them, so I was eyeing the Sopra 3's. Have you had much experience with them? I am open to suggestions to what else should be on my radar. Perhaps the Magico A5's?
Like you ,I am also a McIntosh guy, so all of that is staying the same for power and processing. Just to refresh your memory to know what we are working with it's:
MC452 for fronts
MC303 for center and rears
MC207 for sides, Atmos (front & rear), and my office speakers
MX123 processor for HT
C2700 for 2 channel listening
Can't wait to hear your thoughts and suggestions and to dig into this.

Ping Marco in the audiophile thread also. I think he's more active there.
