Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia

Wilson uses cj amps amongst many to voice their speakers. Mr johnson of c-j uses a wilson personaly at home i believe. My sophia 1s sound great with my cj pr 12 monos now that i have faster chryoed kt 120s in my amps. Every upstream change can be heard on these revealing speakers. got great results chryoing my hovland 2 phono cable, seems a lot of what i did not like was not do to the speaker which is only 5-6k used, a nice bargain in todays market

I had a pair of Sophias and enjoyed both solid-state and tubed amps. However, I think they sounded the best with tubed jobs, blooming more with a robust sound and a bigger soundstage. The slight reduction in bass depth is much less than that of the Watt/Puppies, so it is not really missed. In fact, I heard a pair of Sophia 2's at a local dealer being driven by VTL tube amps and I heard the unusual sound of deep bass being imaged separately from bass guitar. I had a Conrad-Johnson Premier 140 and Audio Research VT100 Mark III that made the best sounds with this speaker.

I had a few clients with Wilson Audio speakers. I sold my XA100.5 to a person with the Puppy7. By far the best sound ever heard from a Wilson Audio. Most of the time it is always very average by Wilson demo's and clients.
