Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce

Thanks Samhar, for reviving the thread.
I, too, would like to know how those Sophia's sound compared to the Vandersteen.

Hi, yes I have them! I have been so incredibly busy that I have not had time to properly research calculated placement, etc. It is next on my agenda. Anyway... Right out the crate, the difference from the 2ce's is striking. I previously had the vandy sub which is completely unnecessary with these Wilsons. The sound is fantastic. Much more "aggressive" and powerful compared to the 2ce's. I'm not good with the eloquent technical jargon, but let's just say it was a phenomenal and obvious difference and a completely meaningful upgrade! I couldn't be happier. 

Ooohh, I am jealous....
Perhaps those Wilson's will be my next move.

I've owned 3 versions of the 2s and have heard Wilson Sophias
on multiple occasions, although they were always 2 or 3s,
not the 1s.....

With the Belles, I would stay with Vandersteen........

The only significant upgrade you could make over the Vandys would
be to go to Magnepan.......they absolutely are magic with Belles.....

Audio Connection in NJ carries both brands.......

I really don't think Wilson will make you happy long term unless
you went up to Sabrina, which would be 7x as much as 2CESIGs
