Most Overated Floor Standing Speaker Up to 15KPair

Wilson Audio Sophia.

I heard these at a local deal with Spectral monoblocks, MIT wire, all the "best" stuff. They were wonderful with female jazz type combo and light music however fell down completely when playing larger-scale classical pieces.

Best,

Paul :-)

Paradigm S8 most definitely.

Within 30 seconds of listening to them, my wife and I were begging the saleman to please stop the pain. Migraine generators for sure. Maybe these are used for sonic torture of Al Qaeda prisoners?

As the owner of Sophia speakers I don't think they qualify,here. Like any speaker,it might not float everybody's boat but they do reproduce near the full spectrum. At "this" price range the Merlins MM's I owned for 4 or 5 months were quite a few hrtz. short of the Wilsons. There are a few speakers with a serious hump or shortcoming. There are probably many whom love either one of these speakers and find neither as "OVERRATED". So, it's all in the mind;or the ears.
