Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce

To answer a few comments/questions-

I plan to keep the 2ce's. They are going into my basement to replace some Linn speakers (hooked up to a rega integrated amp and dj setup).

I did take the plunge and bought the sophias. I'll have them in a few weeks and will report back. Too good of a deal to pass up. Now I need to figure out the cables!

I listen to a lot of electronic/synth/techno and experimental music.

I'm very excited!

Congrats sinewave!
Let us know what you think about the Wilson's. I, myself, would like to buy a pair, should an opportunity to buy a pair at a reasonable cost come up.
As far as cables, I think Transparent has been high on the Wilson list.

Sinewave93 the Acoustic Zen Hologram II are the speaker cables that I settled on and the Satorie by Acoustic Zen seem to be a good match also, just remember that the Sophias do not accept bannana pins just spades.

Sinewave congratulations !
I was using 3a Sigs & 2 2W subs when I purchased Sophia 1's, it was a huge improvement all the way around! The inner detail and stronger bass still put a smile on my face as I'm writing and remembering that first secession !!

"System edited: Added Wilson Sophia 1's these are just amazing!!!! All those CD's I thought sucked don't!!!! Classical is .....it will make you tear up it's so beautiful!!! I'm shocked by how good the Quicksilver V-4's are performing, the combo is a very pleasurable, more detail than I expected! The soundstage is wide, holographic and airy with precise imaging. You can hear the strike at the beginning of a note the harmonics are............!..........!..........! A huge step!!!

Remember set up is a work in progress and can yield big improvements. Please post your journey on your page & here !

Nice to hear you are liking the Sophia's. Have almost the same gear as you did, and was thinking about a Wilson upgrade route.
