Wilson Sophia 1's vs 2's

Richard
Thank you for your perspective. I have off and on thought about buying the 2's but have been afraid of loosing the "nature" of the 1's. The 1's are a very good speaker and have handled every improvement to my system with ease, they still surprise me with their capabilities i.e. dynamics....

I guess it's a matter of funds, if three thousand dollars isn't a problem then it seems the 2's are the choice. In my situation I have something to loose and aren't sure the improvement/risk is worth it, your original question! The change for me would have to be to the S3's or W/P 8's. Your in a win win situation the 1's or the 2"s are a good choice!!! I wanted to give you the perspective of a happy S1 owner and how good the 1's are, it's not about the money for me but I don't want the trouble/inconvenience for a "small" improvement. Hope this helps it's a tough choice!!!

Samhar,

the improvement between the 1 and the 2 are pretty significant and discernable, however, if its me and if i'm in your shoes. I would not bother with the S2s, perhaps S3s would be a more logical choice when they come out in the used market in the future.
If aint broke, why fix it ??

I probably shouldn't have used the word "small". I was thinking about buying a new set of S3's but at this point I don't know what I'm going to do!!!! You put it very well "if it ain't broke, why fix it"!!!

Hi Samhar,

You have an awesome system ! wow to say the least.
Once you change the speakers, you might have to reconfigure the rest of your system.
Offtopic: Do you still have the koetsu rosewood & urushi ?
Big difference ?
