Has anyone yet heard the Wilson Sophia 3 ?


I want to replace my WattPuppy 5's and am eager if anyone's yet auditioned the new Sophia 3's with tubes.

I spent some time listening to the Sacha's and really liked them, however, they are out of my range, the Sophia seemed like a logical choice. I have always liked Wilson products and the company. I have always heard that ARC, Transparent and Wilson go very well together. I also really like the styling of the new Sophia which is important as they are in our living room. Another thing I like about Wilson is I know they will be here in five years, I do not think that can be said for all high end speaker companies. I have had them for about a month now and they are living up to all expectations. Hope that helps.
Heard them a few times at dealers place & shows.
Its quite a significant difference between the II and IIIs.
If funds permit, the IIIs are worthy contenders.
I heard them and I have them; however not with tubes. I can't say how they compare to your WP 5s, but I had Sophia IIs prior to Sophia IIIs and I believe there is a significant difference between the IIs and IIIs. That being said, I've learned that this "hobby" is more about what you hear than what I hear. Listen and draw your own conclusions.
Just got back from RMAF where I heard the Sophia IIs and IIIs, all with tubes. There is definitely an improvement with the IIIs over the IIs (though they were not using the same back end equioment). The IIIs sounded very good but the tube amps were expensive. I don't remember the manufacturer just the general prices but the RMAF exhibitor list will probably have the details.

From what I heard the IIIs definitely give the Sashas a run for their money. I heard the Sashas in two different rooms and for one of them would be heard pressed to recommend it over the Sophias. In the other room the Sashas were clearer better but $9K better? – that is a tough call.
