Wilson Sophia 2 or WP 6 ?


I know this topic as been much discussed but I would like to ask this specific comparison. The Wilson Sophia 2 and the Watt Puppy 6 are both going for around the same price on the "pre-owned" market. Around $8K. This is the limit of my price range so I ask those who have heard and or lived with both to comment on the differences. I have hear the Sophia 2 and really liked it, but I do not have the ability to audition both side by side. I listen to mostly classic rock (Floyd, Wings , Stelly Dan, etc) So not really concerned with the bottom octave or an organ but more with the authority of a kick drum recorded on old analogue gear way back when I was young ! They will be used with Audio Research CD3, LS26, VT100MKII. Transparent Ultra Bal cables and Shunyata Hydra and PC. I imagine the mid-Hi section similar so what is gained or loss between the single 10" woofer vrs the 2x8" ? Thank you

Having listened to Sophia 1, Sophia 2 and the Watt Puppy 5.1, I loved the Sophia sets but decided on the 5.1 when making my purchase.

No complaints at all. To my ears the WPs are faster and more articulate. They throw a better soundstage with cleaner imaging and greater visceral impact.

I was afraid that the WPs would be to analytical and thus sterile, however this has not been the case. Less forgiving? Most definitely but not in a negative way.

Again I stress these are very listenable. I listen happily for hours on end. I about have to tear myself away from my listening sessions. I find that they are always inviting and involving without sacrificing all the rest.

All that said, you just plain cannot make a mistake here.

All three sets are amazing!!

Enjoy!
Thank you all , this is helpful information.
Jfrech what a beautiful room you have! I have tuned my room with panels and bass traps. I am an audio engineer in the pro audio industry. So the tuning is easy and fun for me, with placement and room design / treatments.

I just have a limited budget :(
Vdosc, I figured from your moniker you were in pro audio. I love the big Vdosc line arrays! I heard some of the smaller series in live theatre setups- also amazing.
vdosc, given that info...I think you should go for the WP's ! Let us know what you decide...
I've owned Sophia 1's and now have WP 8's. I went to my local dealer to audition Sophia 3's with the intention of buying them but when I A-B'd with the Watt Puppy 8's they weren't close to the Watt Puppy coherence and impact IMO. The WP 6 would be great with your choice of music, by the way Dave's daughter Debbie owns WP 6's, I think that says volumes about them !!!!!!!!!
