Wilson better than Thiels?

IMO .I agree with Chadnilz, I never like Theils because they sound "harsh" to me,and dislike the Wilson house sound except for the new Sophia 2 which is a winner (even though the retail price has gone way up over the past few months at my local dealer)..A no brainer for me..Wilson Sophia2!!!

If you can't decide, then there is no reason to do it, save your money.

That aside, you need to post your entire system, and tell us what you like/dislike currently, what you hope to achieve, and your budget. Cheers,

If you've listened to Wilson's, and cannot decide whether the upgrade is worth it, then you've answered your own question.

You have to look at what the Thiel's do well and not so well. Figure out what the Wilson's do that you would like to have, in addition to what they don't do and you will miss. And then look at the price.

I personally think that the Sophias are the best value and sound in the Wilson line up. The Maxx's sound great but I feel they deliver too much bass and lose the overall emphasis on the full music presentation. The Sophias just seems to balance the full range in a smooth, articulate, distinct sound. I have listened to many Theils and although the newer models sound better than before, they just seem to lack the emotional conveyance of the music. In my opinion (opinion only) the Theils remind you that they are there and the Wilsons just deliver the music and you(I)get lost in the music. Again all just one man's opinion.

Thiels Harsh?
Only because the truth is sometimes painful.
