Best bet is to contact the company. Also you may want to speak to your local dealer (second). Ideally you would want to get a home demo before purchasing them.
I wouldn't put Sophias in my listening room with those specs. Way too much speaker. Like breathing through a cocktail straw to catch your breath. Great speakers that won't be able to come alive. You want to spend $12k and be behind the 8 ball from the getgo? That's a crying shame...
I don't know about the Sophias, but I had Watt-Puppy 6s in a very nearfield setup, and they worked well, with a very contained & controlled bass and midrange. They reminded me of a big pair of headphones. I did not like the sometimes abrasive highs, but I always hear this on Watt-Puppies in any size room.
So if I heard that statement which I think is aldo true of Wilson from hearing them in NYC, I wonder how they get away with that and charge so much. yeah yeah I know the cabinet.......any other speaker if nearly everyone said had abrasive highs would not get the same respect. So does blind respect come from simply paying premium price?????
