Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's?


Currently using these in a 14x25 room. Enjoying them for the most part, but they can sound aggressive and make mediocre recordings sound like crap and be somewhat fatiguing. Iā€™m interested in trying something that is slightly more forgiving without sacrificing a lot of detail, air, dynamics, etc.

Any suggestions?

Associated equipment (preamps still in flux):

Amps
Pass XA 100.5 monoblocks

Preamps ā€“ Tube
Audio Valve Eclipse
Cary SLP-05

Preamps ā€“ SS
Fire H20
Wyred 4 Sound STP SE
Pass XP-20

Thanks.

FYI, I have recently evaluated a pair of Morrow Audio balanced MA4 IC's in my system. I believe Mike Morrow is onto something extremely important. Never have I heard an interconnect transform the sound of any system the way the MA4's did mine. They are so harmonicaly complete and will remove layers of distortion you may think you don't even have! The results are so phenomenal that words fail...he allows a 60Day trial/no hassle return evaluation. These aren't just a good value, they are a paradigm in high end design.
So I guess you like these better than the Monsters you had recommended earlier, Dave?
Read Dave's posting history.

Every new component is a revelation.

Until the next one.

And the one after that.

And the one after that one, too.

Even the one after 909.
It must be staisfying to never explore and discover new audio gear or to not have any excitement about your purchases. Above all else, it must be absolutely blissful to never add any value or practical opinion on a post. Audiofeil helps so many people with his incisive wit and gorilla style commentary. Check his threads for a wealth of useful information about how everyone else knows so much less than himself. You are so special...you!
I don't always agree with Audiofeil, not that everyone agrees with me, but he said what I would have liked. It is great your are pleased with what you have Dave but your posts are so predictable and over the top in recommending what you have and boldly declaring your gear as best, until, as Audiofeil says, you replace it. Just look at your recent post on speakers, declaring, "Maggie 3.6R's and 20.1's...all the rest pale in comparison." Well, these have been around for quite some time and you are just now declaring them king as you now own them, before you were proclaiming others as royalty.
