Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?

Bottom line is you need to play around with them and put some time in evaluating the response until your happy! The Wilsons should be about 10 to 12 ft apart and need not be aimed completely at your head. As you rotate them out you will open up the soundstage and increase dynamics...do so until you maximize these aspects and still have solid imaging and centerfill. Overall your soundstage will expand in all dimensions and low level dynamics will bloom more easily. Soffit mounting IS used for the Pro market ala engineers, musicians, studios etc... Pro sound is vastly different from the typical listening experience us audiophiles require or expect. Pro sound is more direct and in your face for purposes of evaluating a mix hwile free standing speakers maximize dimensionality, ambient and spatial cues along with proper scale and imaging. Two dimensional vs 3 dimensional really.

I have found the Sophia's to be quite cable dependant
and critical of room placement , I experimented with several cables and found the Harmonic Tech Pro 11's to be the best synergistic match , rich and detailed without being at all coloured or exaggerating any part of the spectrum , you also need to devote hours with set up and positioning as per the manual , but your Dealer should have done most of this . I have found that there is a good reason that some of my source material sounds crap through the Sophias , because it is crap and these speakers don't lie or hide warts ....

Try the series 3....it's even better!!

agree about them leaner in the midbass than british speakers of the likes of harbeths.
Not so sure if that leaness can be compensated with warmer sounding cables or something tubes in the chain.
i wonder if the sophia 3 version would have the same fate.
Other than the leaness in the midbass, which is a minor quibble, its a great speaker overall. I love the bass and dynamics!
