Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?

The 2nd hand price of Wilson WP8 is dropping down fast! I am thinking of buying a pair of 3.7 but as the WP8's price is almost within reach, I wonder which is the better choice? I have CJ premier 350 and Herron Pre. Now using Thiel 3.6 with very good results. Wanting the next step up!!

If you like out of phase speakers then the Wilsons are great.

Elberoth2,

What area did your friend think the Sophia/Watt Puppy were better than the 3.7? Is there things the 3.7s did better?

Some folks simply don't care about accuracy of timbral reproduction. That's OK, let Wilson enjoy your money.

That is what I was thinking. I have heard the Sophia and 3.7s in different systems and rooms... But I thought the 3.7 were much better. They had a lot more detail in the upper mids and highs. The bass was also more coherent.

I think WP8 has a better WAF than CS3.7 in terms of the look.

if it matters to you.
