I've heard the Sophia 3 with the McIntosh MC601 monos and they sounded excellent bass are tight and soundstage are deep and widely spread.

I agree, they will work with them, that why I said it may sag a little. If then you use an amp that could deliver far more current into this load, then thing could change for the better again, to even give better bottomless pit of bass info and outright power.

I have had a pair of Focal Sopra No2's, like the Wilson's, have a tweeter that will bring out harshness in the electronics.

For nearly a year I've had a McIntosh C50/MC452 and have been extremely happy with that setup.  This amp has the smoothness of a tube amp, but (to me) sounds faster and more precise, hardly "breaks a sweat" driving my speakers.

I've had the "hots" to swap out and try all sorts of other equipment, but not with the C50/MC452!
