Why own the very old B&W 801 (Matrix) Series 2 when you own the Sophia? It is impossible to find a pair in decent cosmetic condition, let alone good working condition. I owned the Series 2 about 10-15 years ago. Simply dreadful sound no matter how much Class A juice I thrown at them. I also owned Sophia before. That B&W wouldn't even to qualify a first round comparison.
You are destined to be grossly disappointed with such old speakers that do not provide good sound to begin with.
