Wilson sophia typically found with solid state

Many Sophia owners use tubes for power amps. Outstanding combinations, in addition to the previously mentioned VTL are Audio Research and Mcintosh.

Many Sophia Owners initially try Tube Amplifiers, but end-up with powerful Solid-State Amps. I've heard jaw-dropping demos of Sophias driven by high-quality, powerful Class A SS Amps., most impressively through Mono-Blocks. These Speakers are capable of incredible dynamics and imaging, especially when set-up properly in a large room. A flea-watt tube amp. may make them sound nice, but give them 300>400 good clean watts and they will sound real...

Can this be the final frontier, Sophias with tubes?
When I heard the sophias with Naim at a showroom I liked the sound very much it was super transparent and effortless and they were not using the best amp in the house!
So if they are paired with tubes I imagine it gets better but will it take me to audio nirvoso I mean nirvana?
Can I suspend them with bungee chords????

Hi, I think this can be said for all Wilson speakers. They are very truthful to the source. It really depends on your source components and your preferences.

I have heard the Sophia's, WP 8's, and Alexandria's with tubes and SS. Things about both I like.

I used all tubes, phono, pre, and amps on my WP 8's.

I run my Sophias 2 with a tube amp (ARC Ref 110)a and it is very good combination, although I recently heard them with a Pass X-amp and was also very impressed. So much in fact that I will be borrowing X-350.5 soon.
