B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia?

Wilson Sophia's hands down on rock and classical.

You have a nice size room but I would be concerned it is too small for the N801's. I have heard the N801's sound very, very good but the room was extra large. You really need to listen to them in your room or at least a similar sized room.

(Anything but the Wilson Sophias)
The most analytical, COLDEST, uninvolving speakers ever made.

WOw, I cant agree on the WIlson Sophia/N801's comparison here.

Sophia's bass is nowhere near the same league as the 801's. THe 801's is just as fast with more detail and resolution while playing down to below 20hz flat. Sophias roll off around 35hz and need to be room loaded to get the same extension. Soundstage, Ill take the 801's again. Sophias are a good match for tube amps. The 2 times I heard em with tubes I liked them, but then again Ive always like tube amps to some degree with any speaker setup.

I've listened to the Sophias and B&W 802 in the past week. I'm buying the Sophias. I was very disappointed in the 802s. My wife hated the 802s, and fell in love with the Sophias.

YMMV.
