First Watt F7 driving Wilso Sophia II's?


Anyone with experience here using First Watt and Sophia II's from Wilson?  Thoughts; ideas; statements appreciated.

The F7 is a fine amp, it’s going to be a bit of a gamble, depending how quite you listen, it’s only 20w into 8ohm and still only 30w into 4ohm, I think you’ll reach it’s limit very early before you get to medium/loud level.

The Sofia 2’s are 88db not an evil load, but not easy either.
The speaker’s impedance drops to a minimum value of 3.26 ohms at 220Hz. This is upper bass where a lot of power is needed.

Think they'd be happier with the Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Monoblocks 140w version you were talking about in other posts
