Wilson Sophia 3

Went to the only dealer for Wilson in UT and had a go with the Sasha in all Mac gear (501mono's) and all I can say is WOW!! Huge soundstage and music is crisp, dynamic, and effortless.

If the new Sophia 3's sound even 80% close to the Sasha at 10k off then you could build a pretty decent front end to close the gap.

Definitley my top choice until I hear some horns.

However, based on my experience with Sophia 2 and Sasha, i can tell you that the biggest difference for me is in the HF department. Sasha tweeter is noticably different to Sophia 2 tweeter and much, MUCH better IMO. Sophia's 2 tweeter sounds grainy and 'hot' in comparison, wheres Sasha tweeter is very extended, airy and oh so smooth.

Based on Elberoth2's assessment above, has anybody listened to all Sophia 2, Sophia 3 and Sasha? Would like to know if the highs of the Sophia 3 is almost on par with the Sasha, and a significant improvement over the Sophia 2.

Thanks in advance.

Is 'new' midrange in the Sasha and Sophia 3 the Vifa NE180W or some variant?

I was wondering if anyone has heard, and can compare and contrast Sophia 3 versus vandersteen 5a, or 5a carbon?

I have a pair of Sophia 2's and the paint on the top of the right cabinet has started to crack quite badly , I am the original owner , so these problems are still coming to the surface ( no pun intended ) , I have every confidence of a happy resolution as they are still under warranty .
