Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8


Folks, it seems if I'm about to get a money wise deal on one of those speakers and would like to see your opinion on what would be the better way to go.

The room is 6 x 3.3m (19 x 11 ft), ceiling 3m (9.8ft).

I'm affraid that WP8 would be too much for that small room. Anyone had similar conditions to choose?

Amps would be PassLabs XA-60.5 or XA100.5 PreAmp 10 or 20-th.

Hi Sergeik: My listening room is 20' x 131/2'. Had Sophias for a few years and
later WP7s, each in various configurations. The Sophias are wonderful. But I was
able to hear all of the differences between the Sophias and the WPs in my apt
that I heard in the showroom. Re bass, I found that I heard all of the differences
between a 10" woofer versus two 8" inch woofers in my space. Maxxs
would be too big for your space, but if you set either of these speakers up well, I
think you'll be fine.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Gpgr4blu, do I get it right that 10" woofer does it better than 2 x 8" ones?
Hi Sergeik:
Actually, the 2 8' woofers to my ears are more accurate (tighter bass) and can reach a little bit lower in the frequency range. The 10" woofer rounds off the low end a touch, makes it sound a little bigger and is slightly warmer. Each set up is voiced for the speaker. The 10" woofer would be too slow for the WP. The 2 8" woofers would be too tight and fast for the slightly richer but less transparent Sophia.
