Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?

Do you mean in comparison to other Wilson's like the Watt Puppy?

If so then you can see on Soundstage measurement plots that is has a smoother bass response with less of a resonance peak. So perceptively it should sound leaner than WPs.

No, I meant in comparison to other speakers. Do they like to be positioned near the front wall?

I have them 39" out from the front wall and if I pull them out more I start to lose body quickly...

what other equipment are you using?

That sounds about right for loss of mid bass - you will have a big suckout around 100 Hz - see the red curve.

That is why I soffit mounted my speakers - it is a universal problem but nobody seems aware of it.

You can move the speaker to shift the suckout to a part of the spectrum that bothers you less but it will still be there - unless you soffit mount.

Shadorne,

Could you explain what you mean by soffit mount? I think of a soffit as a projection between a ceiling and adjoining wall. In kitchens, cabinets are often hung from soffits.
