Wilson Sophia vs Usher Mini Dancer II

My room is 14' wide by 26' deep. I'm using the Audio Research 100.2 (solid State) as the amp to drive them (see my system page). I currently have to set up in the room but it is optimized for the Maggies. I use the Kestral 2 as a near field set up on the back end of he room. The 3.6 and the 100.2 are a wonderful combo when using the Vandersteen Sub to carry the bass. Without the sub it's still okay just not nice as the combo. I love the grainless quality of the Audio Research 100.2 and in an effort to slightly simplify I would like to get a friendly load fork the amp. That's why I've been thinking about the Sophie 2 until I recently started reading about the Usher Mini Dancer 2. I think my sub for the Absolute Sound might have lapsed can you tell me if it was the January issue I'll have to go out and pick that up...

I was off by a year! The Mini Dancer II review is actually in the Dec 2012 Absolute Sound.

One is for hear music, the other is for hear everyhing. What do you like?

so, you feel that the Usher is the more 'muscial' speaker?

The Usher Dancer CP8571 is a better comparison with the Wilson Sophia 2. I auditioned both when I was looking for my new speakers and, if it wasn't for the size (mostly depth) of the 8571s I might just have them in my living room now - they were a very impressive speaker (primarily in sound, but also in appearance!) The Sophias were also very good, though! I think you'll need to compare by listening, if you can.
