Wilson Sophia 3

Yea I am pretty curious how the midrange compares. I always felt the midrange lacked a little detail on the Sophia 2 when compared to some other speakers in the same price range.

Elberoth2,
Did you get to hear the Sophia 3? Also I believe you owned the Sophia 2 and bought the Sasha recently. How do you feel the midranges compare? I realize the Sophia 3 does not have the exact same midrange as the Sasha...

I have heard both the Sasha and Sophia 2 before but at different dealers more than a year apart so I can not compare them at all. I am hoping the midrange on the new Sophia 3 sounds a lot more like the watt puppy line.

Thanks.

I've been considering the Sophia 2s and the Thiel 3.7s. I'll wait a bit longer to make my selection. Certainly looking forward to listening to the 3s.

Ok thanks for the information. I also watched the video of Dave Wilson (at wilsonaudio.com) talking about the new Sophia 3. In one of the interviews he states that the same midrange was used as the Sasha.

I wish I would have listened more to the Sasha when I was at the dealer (3 hours away) last month. But they are out of my price range new so I did not take in all the details. But it would have given me more insight into how the new Sophia (in my price range) might sound. I guess I will just have to make a trip when they come out.

I bought a pair of cheap speakers used (Thiel 2.4) last month with no intent to keep them and plan to buy a pair of Thiel 3.7s toward the end of the year. But I will definatly check out the Sophia 3 before I buy the 3.7s... to may good new speakers out these days.

James - I agree with you. I'm down to the Thiels 3.7s and the Sophia 2s or 3s. There are some good deals on the Sophia 2s but at this price point, I might as well be patient and do the comparisons - get the best of the 3 options. Early info would make the new Sophias quite compelling given the upgrades on the tweeter and midrange as well improved efficiency (at least according to the video interview).
