Wilson Sophia 2

I've listened to a lot of wilsons and currently own revel salon 2 and Dynaudio c4. I think the Sophia 2 is a great choice especially if you don't want to go over 10k. I think it's a great choice at any price. I want to own some Wilson speakers eventually.

Buy them and don't look back. I have owned a bunch of speakers, Verity Audio, Sonus Faber, Aerials, Revel etc and I bought a pair if Sophia 2's and love them. They do everything very well even at low listening levels. They replaced a pair of Watt Puppy 6's. I have a Plinius SS Amp with a Manley Jumbo Shrimp tube pre, ASR Basis Exclusive phone pre, Audio Aero Capitole CDP and a 1965 Thorens TD125MK2 table. All Kubala cables as well. First time in a long time I have spent no time at all looking for new speakers----

Wilson Audio makes some of the most accurate transducers in the industry,
and are "accused" of being overly revealing. Without hearing a Wilson speaker, especially one with a metal-dome tweeter first, would possibly be a very serious mistake. Plus read some reviews that describe moving a wilson
speaker a couple of inches that can totally change the sound from the listening position. this could be either a very good thing or a very bad thing, depending on your room, your wire, just about everything upstream that might need improving or replacing. Of course on the upside, you won't find a speaker that produces a more magical 3D image and specificity of everything in a given recording if conditions are mostly favorable.

Bill-

you have the makings of a killer system. Buy the Wilson speakers and never look back.

Keep us posted & Happy Listening!
