Wilson Watt Puppy 6 or Sophia 2 ?

Can anyone with some extensive ownership or audition experience please give me their feedback on which pair might be better. I have a choice of either for similar amounts. Currently have Revel Studios. I love them, but am looking for better sound in a smaller enclosure. Please let me know your thoughts.

The Sophia 2 is the Wilson speaker for those people who do not like Wilson speakers.

Great line. I will have to remember that !

BTW - to my ears Sophia 2 is just very transpartnt speaker. With the different choice of cables, I can make them sound very fast and a bit bright (as with AQ Sky ICs) or very forgiving (as with Siltech G7 ICs or KS Emotion ICs).

I haven't heard the Wilson Watt Puppy 6 but the Sophia 2 is a great speaker. Wouldn't hesitate to get them again.

I totally agree with Tomer. The WP6 and the Sophia 2 are two very different kinds of speakers.

I have heard the Sophia 2 twice, both very long auditions, and both times I heard beautiful music. I personally felt there was no midbass hump and no rise or harshness in the treble at all - but the amps used were also very good: CJ CA200 and Hovland RADIA. That is most likely the reason.

Having said that, if i were you, I would keep the Studios and upgrade the rest of the system! You probably have yet to hear everything the Studios are capable of.
