Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?

I recommended the 7's when I thought you were going to upgrade the whole system, but after reading your last post and your desire to keep it "manageable" I will recommend the Sophia 2 over the 7!!! You could just about plug in and play with the Sophia 2 and you would have a very good speaker/system. If you were to go to the 7's I think you'll be upgrading the amps then the cables then the source etc, etc, etc that is what the WP's can do, reveal everything, the good the bad and the just ok. I owned/enjoyed the Sophia 1 for three years.

I forgot. I think your amps will drive the Sophia 2 easier then the WP 7's!!! I wouldn't go by the db#'s in this case, the 2's aren't hard to drive.

Thanks Samhar, and a very nice system you have!

Vdosc,

Your welcome. I know how crazy it can get trying to factor in everything!!!

Thanks for the kind comment!!!

The Sophia 2 is a very good speaker that should be enjoyable for years in your system!!! I listened at low levels at night with the 1's and enjoyed it, and the 2 has a "bigger" (tighter?) low end if I'm not mistaken. What db do you listen at? Sometimes I would turn on the SPL meter and be surprised how low I was listening at!!! Then I'd turn it up some, walk down the hall and check at the bedroom door, it still wasn't that loud!!! Was it as dynamic as higher db's, no. I think the Wilson's speed and clarity help create the perception of more dynamics at lower db's

Samhar, Average SPL listening levels range from mids 80's to below 70db C weighted. Occasionally get louder but even if the system and ROOM can handle it, I can't. I am a live sound engineer so I get enough high SPL at work ;) Thats one thing I have liked about my Martin Logans is they sound very good and image really well at low SPL I tried some Vandersteen 3Asigs but them seemed to need be driven to reall sound full (in my room with my gear) and then it was too loud. So thats why I am thinking its time to make the next big jump to Wilson's
