Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 or..


Sophias?

They are around the same price in the used market?
Any obvious choices?

Please note, performance and looks are both vital!

Follow-up:
I think speakers that are designed to be absolutely revealing should come with some sort of Parental Warning Sticker that says: non-audiophile-grade recordings can be hazardous to your health (or at least your hearing).
(Sorry to be so negative, but this is from the school of hard knocks...)
Maybe I have a different take on bad recordings, knowing their not good, but in my system, using W/P 7's, less than stellar recordings are not unacceptable for me...maybe I just don't have many of those. :)

BTW, congratulations on the new purchase!
Ravi, be happy with the Sophia's and never second guess a decision that makes you happy. To me, the differences that you outlined in your comparison with the W/P matches my opinions. In the end, it is personal taste and preference. These are speakers that should last you many, many years if you can avoid the itch!
I have a friend who will be travelling to the US soon and is comtemplating of buying a pair of Sophia2. I am sure he is aware of all the warranty issues and additional shipping costs.

What's the best price to pay for a brand new/used pair? Require dealer contact details. I also heard that in a situation like this dealers usually sell at a much better price--is this true?
I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
